The newts seem to think hibernation is over. Saved this one and two others from a man-hole. #greatcrestednewt #smoothnewt
Not a bad timing to have automated methods for amphibian capture-recapture studies. #greatcrestednewt #tech4wildlife

What a beautiful animal! We were out on a #GreatCrestedNewt survey (under licence) last night & happily found all 3 species of Scottish newt. Remember the #amphibianladders workshop in Guildtown village hall tomorrow - all welcome to help save animals like these. ππΈπ
Newts on the move!
We have had Great Crested Newts overwintering in the cellar at our offices.
These guys are now on the way to our ponds!

I was busy with a @GreatFen #GreatCrestedNewt #survey today. I had delightful surprise on returning to the car park. This big #moth was just sat there and a closer look revealed it was a #RedUnderwing . Let's hope the warming weather bring a few more out in the coming days.
Habitat management at the @GreatFen has resulted in this year's #amphibian surveys revealing more evidence of breeding success. In just one sample, five much smaller juveniles accompany three large #GreatCrestedNewt males (top left and middle) and one female (bottom right).
Don't miss out on Great Crested Newt Survey Season, this is just one of many surveys we carry out during this time! Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to call usπ #WorcestershireHour #surveyseason

Wasn't expecting this fellow on the way to bring in some logs. Feel like it should be hiding away in one of the garden hiberacula..
