Topic: Natterjacks in Cumbria
Just an update on the site that I'm currently monitoring on the Cumbrian coast - so far we have had several strings develop and emerge. Since this is my first year of monitoring I'm very happy with the state of events.

Topic: "Exotic Lizard" ....
If its not fur nor feather then the RSPCA have not got a clue. I used to respect them but since I've found out how useless they really are in relation to herps David Hind Wildlife Trust (Cumbria) - Member Solway AONB - Volunteer |

Topic: What is this guy doing!!??
From a personal point of view - I have no experience of snakes at all, so I'll just look and photo them until such a time when I've been shown the correct way of handling the animal. David Hind Wildlife Trust (Cumbria) - Member Solway AONB - Volunteer |

Topic: Use Google Earth to Map Locations
Hi all, whilst surfing the web the other day I came across this from a site in the US. They are using Google Earth to pinpoint locations and send attachments to each other - do you think this could be done here?

Topic: Reptile translocation - UPDATE
Pardon my ignorance - but is there any guidelines or legislation on the translocation of animals, if so have any been broken, and can the culprits be held to account?

Topic: Dog walking affect on habitat
I think a lot has to do with the attitude and/or ignorance of the dog walker. Some owners may not realise the harm that Fido can do if left to its own devices, and unfortunately some will not care. Maybe if sign were places on known walking tracks advising of the disturbance that fido can do if not on a lead. I'm sure this is not the first time this topic has come about - and that's why I say more education of Joe Public is needed.

Topic: Should I Break The Ice on My Pond?
I would say that your initial thoughts were correct - the frogs have and will survive; they go into a shut down state at the bottom of the pond or hibernate under lief litter, they also have a built in anti-freeze in their body. One good thing about the ice breaking is at least the birds can still get a drink (until if freezes again) I have several bird baths at home and frequently melt the ice. I'm sure one of our more knowledgeable members could explain it better than I have - hope that helps David Hind Wildlife Trust (Cumbria) - Member Solway AONB - Volunteer |
