On Monday we visited the reptile centre in the middle of the new forest. It consists of a number of enclosures with all the native reptiles and all the native amphibians except the newts. The first thing I saw was in fact a first for me: a natterjack toad, the UKs rarest amphibian

Heronry report 9
Thursday, 28. February 2008, 21:50:36
Today I went for a wander around regents park. Activity at the heronry was the same as it has been recently. No sign of any chicks today, but I'm sure there are some up there. Hopefully when they get a bit bigger ill be able to see there heads poking up over the top of the nest. The first interesting thing I saw after walk on from the heronry was a pair of ruddy shelducks, one of which is shown here:
Wildwood trust
Friday, 1. February 2008, 14:11:18
As promised last weekend here are the photos from my visit to wildwood. WARNING:THIS POST IS PHOTO HEAVY! First here is one of the American bullfrogs, which was out despite it not being that mild
There is population of these in Kent (and possibly elsewhere in the UK) They were brought over as pets, sold as giant tadpoles, and as they reach adulthood they then into big frogs which are often set free. Unfortunately they can breed sucessfully and will eat anything they can fit into there mouths - which includes native small mammals, amphibians, reptiles and bird chicks! Efforts have been to capture the bullfrogs with some success, but there have been reports of some still at large.

Friday, 4. January 2008, 10:38:28
After reflecting on 2007, on to 2008. And you may or may not know that 2008 is the year of the frog. You also may or may not know that our amphibians are in trouble - due to global warming, introductions of alien species, pollution and the spread of disease - basically because of us. And the year of the frog is about raising awareness of this. There is more info at these places:
