Hi all

The results of the 2005 Make the Adder count are available from the link below

http://www.kentarg.org/pdf/MTAC%202005%20Summary%20Report.pd f

Of course if anyone still hasnt sent in their counts over 2005 then you can still undertake the survey for 2006 and include your 2005 counts aswell

We need as many people out there collecting this info on our adders as possible

Regards

JC

I have now received the summary report from John Baker; he did not know that I am now in SA permanently. He did make the point that if there is someone out there who could carry on looking at me old Dorset sites on a fairly regular basis. That would give me some peace of mind as well; especially when it comes to management and hibernacula!!!

If you read this Dave - are you doing any tasks around hartland. Just that it was discussed that the growth around the bank of 'the pond' is now shading out La egg-laying sites; also the growth on top needs a 'trim'.
All carefully dome by hand of course, chainsaws accepted.

We are having a series of wildfires here in the Western Cape; observed snakes fleeing across the road, including a puff adder sidewinding at a gtreat rate of knots. Poor old angulate tortoises don't stand a chance though.

Interesting summary report....

I was a little confused about the power analysis being 90% or greater. As I understand it, as power increases, and type II error is decreased, type I error tends to increase.

Does anybody have the stats supporting paper?, I would be very interested to look at it to understand the assumptions made.
