To my delight the bottle traps this morning held four great crested newts. As the weather got worse during the day this was my only outing, but still a great year tick.

Ooot and abooot newting
Survey season is well underway, and soon bats will become the focus. At present my first survey with Staffordshire Ecological Services (SES) was for newts. Last night we set bottle traps and carried a torchlight survey which produced one smooth newt.
To my delight the bottle traps this morning held four great crested newts. As the weather got worse during the day this was my only outing, but still a great year tick.
