Wildlife correspondent George Millins writes:
'The amphibians have started their migration back to their breeding ponds, so the 'Toads On Roads' rescue scheme takes up most of my evening. In case you are not familiar with this scheme, it requires volunteers armed with a good torch, high vis jacket and bucket, to patrol roads where they dissect amphibian terrestrial habitat from their breeding ponds. The plan is: to pick up amphibians, whether they are toads frogs or newts and take them across the road to their breeding pond to reduce road kill.
Without this scheme many populations would, no doubt, become extinct, but it is difficult to get volunteers. I have two occasional volunteers but desperately need more help along Folly Rd., Great Waldingfield, for about 200 mts. either side of the school pond.'
If you can help George please let me know.
