So another year draws to a close and unless something extraordinary happens, I'm unlikley to see any more herps in 2013.
Natterjacks were my highlight of the year, with adults calling and doing their thing in Dorset and lots of immatures seen in Hampshire.
So what is everyone looking forward to in 2014? Personally, I'll be making another attempt at the Boscombe green lizards and hopefully trying for more established exotics (edible frog, midwife toad). I also hope to take some better photos of our herps and do more local stuff, but finding decent ponds in our part of Wilts for spring amphibian work is increasingly hard.
Happy hunting one and all.
Cheers,
Paul
