Posted: 24 Jan 2011 Greetings all IÆm currently halfway through my second year of a three year degree in Conservation& Wildlife Management. As part of year three I need to produce a dissertation and I need to start gathering data now for my chosen subject which is the phenological effects in relation to the Common Frog (Rana temporaria). I am looking for willing volunteers in the Hampshire area to help me by sending me their observations please. IÆm not asking for anyone to go out of their way to do this but am hoping that members with ponds in their gardens or members who pass ponds/lakes regularly (e.g. dog walkers) would be willing to provide me with the data I need. The data I am after please is as follows: 1) Location of pond / lake (i.e. postcode or GPS or ordnance survey ref please) 2) Date frogspawn first seen 3) Number of clumps of frogspawn and whether they are small (e.g. handful size) or large (e.g. bucket size) 4) Date tadpoles hatch and can be seen free from inside the jelly but clinging onto it (this is when they are feeding on the jelly before becoming independent) These observations can be sent to me either by a reply post on this thread or you can email me directly at sarah@contactsarah.co.uk If you submit your (real) name with your observations I will mention you in the acknowledgements section of my dissertation!  Many thanks in anticipation and please contact me if you have a query Sarah |
