Following wildlife, nature conservation, greenspace and green infrastructure issues. Interested in animal tracks, signs and survey. Opinions my own.
Proud to finally see the product of Lina-Elvira Bäck and my contributions towards the RGU Sustainability Report content on their SuDS Pond wildlife records. Lina's azure damselfly photo is stunning compared to my toad photo #CitizenScience #BiologicalRecording

Whilst my daughters searched for chocolate eggs, I was making "egg strips" to supplement the limited vegetation suitable for the palmate newts in the pond to lay eggs on (which I believe contributed to their breeding success in past years when the pond was even sparser).
