Noises in a Tropical Night

What a cacophony of sound in a tropical Bali night.
It's an interesting experience listening into the night. There are the constant sounds - the surf breaking on the stony beach and the continual singing of the cicadas. Then there's the booming sounds of the toads and the erratic chorus of water frogs. During the course of the night there are various lizards raising their surprisingly loud voices - geckos and another called a chitchat which makes a noise like a kissing sound.In the early hours of the morning the roosters begin to crow - dozens of them, to be followed at 5am. by the melodic sung prayers from the nearby Muslim centre. The dawn is then greeted by a bird chorus of various previously unheard melodies as well as the cooing of doves.
