The pond is alive with wriggling tadpoles at the minute! I'm spending hours watching them swim about #amphibans

Brilliant news! I remember being on various zoom calls about the idea of this years ago, and I'm ao glad it's finally looking to come to fruition!
I'd have loved to have done this GCSE at school!

Nothing beats a good March evening out looking in ponds! 11 ponds checked this season, and many more to go! #WorldFrogDay #amphibians #toads #ukwildlife

It’s #WorldFrogDay AND #InternationalDayOfHappiness! Coincidence? We don’t think so, frogs certainly make us smile! 😁
We’d love to see your happy frog photos! 📷🐸

Not all of us indoors are equally enthused by Amphibian surveying season... Louie would rather stay under his blanket on the sofa

Hmm... I wonder if there are any signs indoors that I'll be out surveying #amphibians over this next week.
I've already been busy doing spawn counts across a bunch of parks locally- but I'll have a wonderful troop of volunteers with me this week!

The number of clumps of spawn is slowly rising in the pond 🐸. Meanwhile, the newts are having a whale of a time in there! The single male toad is a bit early for his pals, so evening qwarks galore at the mo. #amphibians @froglife.bsky.social @arc-trust.bsky.social

This thread is incredible! #hippos
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Did you know that the Cinnabar caterpillar is a striking black and yellow creature? These vibrant colors signal their toxicity to predators. Found munching on ragwort, they're nature's little chemists, deterring threats with their chemical defenses. #NatureFacts #ukwildlife

Like last year, our frogs have waited for the toads to arrive before spawning! I don't mind though, can't wait for more to appear! #spawnwatch #amphibian

Nothing better than finding a smooth newt larvae whilst dipping, it's dragonfly, damselfly and woodlice pals are also welcome- but I do have a bias! #ukwildlife

Red admirals migrate from North Africa to Europe in spring and return in autumn, covering impressive distances. This individual from last year had seen better days, but still very colourful and quite agile with it's flight! #ukwildlife

The smooth newts are the busier party this evening, quite early for them in our pond- but great to see them hunting and some early dances from the males. #ukamphibians

39 frogs in the pond last night (That I could see). It's heating up! 4 females present and being kept on their toads by all the males!

This #NationalNestboxWeek, remember not all birds nest the same way!
Here's a few options to get you started... 🧵👇
Robins and Wrens like to keep hidden, tucking their nests away in dense cover. An open-fronted box placed low down and out of sight is just their style.
