Last Friday I took the opportunity to show a new colleague around some sites on Dartmoor that are good for amphibians. Lovely sunny day, messing about with pond nets and a beer to finish - does it get much better?? I'll let the photos speak for themselves:
 |
| Toad Tadpoles at Hemerdon |

| Palmate Newt |
 |
| Palmate Newt with deformed tail and massive cloaca! |
 |
| Toad Tadpoles |
 |
| Common Frog Tadpoles (massive bias towards Toad at all sites) |
 |
| Shoreweed at Hemerdon |
 |
