Topic: Herps from above
What is the likelihood of a bird dropping a slow worm onto a site which otherwise has no reptiles? Background: A site was surveyed pretty well to my mind - 10 days in good conditions, (dates & temps given), good refugia cover, no herps....except 1 dead slow worm in the open (but within reasonanle herp habitat). It's assumed that a bird might have left it there. Call me cynical but... |

Topic: Newts Neuter New Block
Are they warning people not to pick them up with their teeth? The depths of people's ignorance is quite depressing - the council's statement is much more illuminating, though less entertaining. The problem of gcns in school wildlife ponds is likely to increase though, I wonder how many of them slip through the net (oops, no pun intended) especially as many are quite recent and unlikely to appear on OS maps. |

Topic: Toad tunnels
Hi everyone, I've had a request from a group planning to install a toad tunnel to find out whether anyone who has been involved in putting in toad tunnels in the past can give some practical advice. They would especially like to know how successful these have been and whether there have been any problems since, and if so, advice on how these might be avoided in their project. Can anyone help? Thanks Sue |
