Wakeham

It was another busy day, so I thought I would check out the nightlife in the "bath" pond. Unfortunately the newts and toads weren't very obliging and the best I could find was one Toad, hundreds of tadpoles, a few Great Pond Snails, loads of Garden Snails. and several "shrimp/louse" type water creatures.

Amphibians and Garden Snails Recorded:
Toad
Garden Snail (Cornu aspersa)

Just the one Toad by the "Bath" Pond tonight eyeing up the Garden Snails. Last night there were four toads. Perhaps I was a bit early tonight!!


Tadpoles and Invertebrates!
