Disaster!!

Dear Frogwatchers,

I'm sorry to have to report that the recent spell of hot weather has spelled the end of our breeding area, it's completely dried up and all our youngsters have gone - hopefully some will have made it into other pools or damp ground nearby.

On a happier note, I noticed yesterday that we do still have a thriving small population of palmate newts in a different pool.

Off to take a group of Dunoon Primary School pupils on an exploration of the forest, might see you there!!
