Was in the frontal dunes on Sefton coast today a bit of water in the slacks and a few strnigs of spawn around, but these will dry out in a couple of days. We have not had much rain recently only one day of decent rain in the last 2 weeks.

So pleased that the Natterjacks are doing well countrywide but particularly in the South. The recent rains have been a godsend. I was really worried about the Dorset sites because of the lack of water but the pools are nicely full now and contain good strings and a decent number of tadpoles. Should be a bumper year. I hope this has helped the Merseyside/Lancs situation as I grew up in the area and it is very close to my heart. Any updates would be appreciated.

Just flying past to say we've got 'em in Surrey too! - unusual pic of our two toad species together during a night-time terrestrial survey.

I can reassure you that the toads shown here conform to European standards as defined by the Natterjack Harmonisation Treaty of 1993, and are within the quota allocated to the UK under the Natterjack Convergence Directive instigated in 1997.

Actually Keith the "Euro buffs" seem to be thinking these should stay in the genus Bufo, it was an American who decided they should be Epidalea....Wink
