Whistling frogs, the sound of the night

They really are the star of the island’s night life. The sound of the tropics – particularly during and after rain – is not the cicada, but the tiny whistling frog. It is of course unique as it gives birth to live young – but is still an amphibian.

So if you can’t make it out to Barbados, click play and imagine yourself in Barbados, listening to the sound of a Caribbean night after a cooling rain.
