Fylde Amphibian & Reptile Group: Disappointment at the allotment pond
http://fyldearg.blogspot.com/2015/03/disappointment-at-allotment-pond.html
Fylde Amphibian and Reptile Group. Sunday, 15 March 2015. Disappointment at the allotment pond. Mother's Day and other appointments meant only two members of FARG were able to go to the allotment site where there is a substantial pond. At this time of year we like to clear the remains of last year's vegetation from around the refugia along the north bank so that sunlight and hence warmth can get to them and also it means on subsequent visits we can lift them to see what might be hiding beneath. Once all ...

Fylde Amphibian & Reptile Group: February 2014
http://fyldearg.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Fylde Amphibian and Reptile Group. Thursday, 13 February 2014. The season is starting. FARG had news today of an amphibian find during a greenhouse tidying spree by local naturalist Annie. She moved a piece of wood to find an upside-down sleeping newt and a rather fat frog. Here's a close up of it still fast asleep. The spotted chin shows it to be a Smooth Newt. After being gently woken it was put back in a safe place to go back to sleep. Fylde Amphibian and Reptile Group. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Fylde Amphibian & Reptile Group: April 2014
http://fyldearg.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Fylde Amphibian and Reptile Group. Friday, 11 April 2014. Amphibians can turn up in some straange and bizarre places so keep your eyes peeled. These Smooth Newts were found by a FARG member when he was doing some work at a friend's house. Rummaging around at the back of the garden he came across an old child's tricycle discarded in the undergrowth. Thankfully they have been released and entered into the Record Pool. So there you have it keep those records coming in. Fylde Amphibian and Reptile Group.

http://fyldearg.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Fylde Amphibian and Reptile Group. Monday, 22 August 2011. Not the newt we were looking for. FARG member Dave had a look under some sheets where Great Crested Newts had been found earlier in the springThere were none there this time although there were about a dozen Toads, ranging in size from this year's hatchlings to three year olds like thhis one pictured. No live newts of any species were seen but on one of the boards was this almost complete newt skeleton; it could be any of the three species. South...
