Pond Watch - Amphibian Survey - March & April 2026
Nearly 100 ponds have been identified in the 4Bs. Many are small garden ponds but over 30 ponds are more significant and can be seen on Google Earth (see our pond reports in our Nature Magazine).
Amphibian Survey
Ponds and other watery habitats like ditches and slow moving streams, provide great habitats for amphibians - frogs, toads and newts. Between February and April we want to build on our inventory of ponds to identify those which are providing habitats for amphibians. By sharing information of sightings we can build a picture of our amphibian populations and habitats across the 4Bs.
