Another trip to Llandod lake this evening as the conditions were perfect for amphibians to make there way from their hibernation spots to their breeding grounds. They were everywhere, and before long the bucket was full of Newts and Toads. After safely putting them in the water I started to walk back to the car, and stumbled across this giant!!
Great Crested Newts are and endangered and protected species, and it is ilegal to handle them without a license, unless they are in danger which this one was. So I quickly removed him from the middle of the road and placed him in the water.
All in all another successful evening, with a total of 25 Toads, 1 Frog, 1 Great Crested Newt and 39 Smooth Newts rescued.
