After the wetlands on Pleck Meadow were constructed last year, we all waited with baited breath to see whether any frogs, toads or newts would find them suitable enough to call home.
This week our anticipation was quenched when, with the help of some plucky, young, litter-picking volunteers, we spotted some eggs in two of the ponds!
During this time we especially ask that people do not let their dogs in any ponds as they can trample the spawn/tadpoles and also leech pesticides into the water from flea treatments.
If you’d like more information, Froglife runs a #pawsagainstponds campaign and has an extensive article on the subject.
Thank you for keeping dogs out of wildlife ponds.
