Well spring is here, as the signs are there, despite the ice cold wind and predicted snow for easter

I spent today revising up at bedfords park. It was meant to be a quick visit but there was a school group in so I thought I'd help out as it had been a while. First up was pond dipping. The problem was the pond had flooded and the dipping platform was more of an Island! We let the kids loose with the nets and they caught freshwater shrimps (Gammarus) and some cyclops. There was then the cry of 'NEWT!' And there in the tray was a female smooth/common newt (Lissotriton (formerly Triturus) vulgaris)
