Jon,

I was off work ill most of last season so i'll need to get the records and check but I do not think they encountered any SS.

Most of the 2002-2004 are on slide.

Rest are  30mb digital.

This one is from spring survey 2006

jon

you had survey tins out in 2005 and 2006 (I'm sure they were placed by you on behalf of MM ?)

We did surveys for a DEFRa licence which has been completed recently.

Last survey season I recorded 6 individuals in the park including 2 youngesters...so they are there in the park as well as the HA verge.. e-mail me if you want details....by the way hope you are well!!!!!

Is it really acceptable to allow advertising on a site such as this!!!!!!

Herpetosure do not need additional free plugs

If you have a survey licence fro NE and you  are expereinced yes!

If not you risk breaking the law and killing the newts,,,, not good
