Getting Toads Out of a Hole |
|
KRAG is pleased to announce a brand new project that will focus on one of the most under-recorded of all Kent's amphibians. Although the common toad is now a priority Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) species, KRAG have relatively few records of these remarkable animals in Kent. We suspect that common toads are relatively widespread in Kent but are worried that they may be under threat from habitat loss, deaths on roads and climate change so we are asking everybody to let us know where toads have been seen. For those of you that are especially keen, we also organise monitoring projects that run in the spring.
