Cor blimey another one of those consultant types trying to mussle in on the herp conservation world........ Only kidding I think that there is quite a bit of activity in Cheshire and I believe that there are some people up there that want to look into local adders in Staffordshire - I met up with Mark O Shea a month or so ago and he wanted to get these people involved with the make the adder count project - First port of call would be the local group part of the froglife website www.froglife.org Hear from ya soon JC |

Yeah i have already been on the froglife, and searched as much as i can to find a specific staffs group. Just seems to be that there has been a group in planning and been trying to set one up for a while, thats why i thought there might have been some talk. Im waiting on the wildlife trust too, to see if they have any info. Cant see why there wouldnt be interest around here there cresties about and i hear tell of adders.. Nice to get my first reply though cheers |

I will let you know of anything happening in the area for next year - I suspect there will be some adder monitoring surveys on national trust land - I will let you know

Tim,
If you're not going already, it may also be an idea to book a place at this year's herp worker's meeting. There are likely to be other folks from your part of the country with whom you can make contact etc. Download a copy of the flyer here. |

Ah yes very good point Mr Brady, (being extra polite as ive already read some of your posts regarding consultants) The adder monitoring sounds just the ticket to, thanks JC. Its all very appreciated. If there are active people up here i was wondering about having a little talk about some projects that have been going on around here, most notably the re-grading and destruction of a lovely old piece of farm land stuffed with cresties (i did see evidence of fences and pits so assume they were translocated, but have not seen any replacement habbitat). Ok probably best for me to stop there before i get into a rant...the land was my familys old farm.. sigh.... |

Alas, you stumbled in your politeness since I'm Dr. Brady 
Working as a consultant myself, I like to think that I help to keep some of my colleagues on their toes... Seriously though, I think that consultants are well positioned to actively promote local conservation projects. Many of us do. Unfortunately there are also some bad apples out there who let the side down. |

Oh i see, like that is it Doc.... i mean you come in and try your best..... Seriously though you have a point, which is one of the reasons that i want to be involved from the other side if you want to look at it like that. And theres nothing wrong with a bit of in-industry quality control Im just keen to be involved with people who "know better than me" and hope that it can be reciprocal with me being able to offer something back in terms of useful time and so on. Doesnt sound to unlikely does it? Tim |

I think I should rename the site RACUK? Can't come on here these days without falling over consultants I'm sure 'Doc Brady' (oh yes I like that) PS welcome to RA(C)UK Tim from the admin. |

Professor' 
All of you who work as consultants, now's the time to fess up! |

hi all, i a new mamber here, and was hoping that someone here might be involved in the north staffs/cheshire area. I am looking to expand my surveying/conserving and restoration skills. I have been working in consultancy (yes i know some of you wont like me now) for going on 4 years and hold a GCN licence. Which having read other posts i feel oblidged to point out i have spent 3 years doing surveys and courses before applying for and certainly do not think that this makes me any type of expert, although i would like to think profficient.
