We have been sharing our toad patrol news here for 10 years but now feels like a good time for this account to go into hibernation. You'll still be able to keep up to date with our work via https://t.co/EuIWO2qX3F or https://t.co/iKcEaSbEX1

Now is a great time to dig a pond!

It will rapidly fill up with water over the winter, ready for new life to arrive in the spring.

For advice on how to go about it, see our #JustAddWater guide: https://t.co/OzP2C6HUMT

Its fab to see our fellow patrollers in Warminster applying for a road closure to help the amphibians on their journeys to breeding ponds. We've seen ourselves what a positive impact closing a road has for amphibians. This would be a very welcome 4th road closure in the UK

An imaginative new use for a @nationaltrust membership card via one of our volunteers - helping to demonstrate the size of a palmate newt

Some of our volunteers have seen amphibians on the move across Charlcombe Lane heading towards the breeding lake. This is unprecedented as they normally start moving in February - our changing climate is confusing the biological clocks of our amphibians

[Toad Rescue @ToadRescue]

With the very wet and mild weather frogs, toads and newts have been spotted on the move across Charlcombe Lane. Please drive carefully looking out for amphibians

@Nikita_azad Thanks for your note. It’s in Charlcombe but on privately owned land, so it’s not possible to visit I’m afraid.

[Toad Rescue @ToadRescue]

We’re so proud to be one of 200 plus patrols across the UK. Every year thousands of volunteers are helping tens of thousands of amphibians across the road through a combination of citizen science (collecting much needed data) and conservation in action 💚🐸🦎💚
