The New forest reptile centre

Sunday, 14. September 2008, 09:40:44

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

Bedfords park: Pond dipping and minibeast hunting, with a dash of rutting deer :)

newt, Lissotriton, Triturus, smooth ...

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)
