We love this poem by Scottish poet Norman MacCaig and especially the lines... "You clamber towards me on your four corners - right hand, left foot, left hand, right foot" One for all of the amazing toad patrollers out there making such a difference πŸΈπŸ’š #WorldPoetryDay

We’ve had the busiest year for helping newts across Charlcombe Lane since our patrol started in 2003. One of our volunteers, Jonathan, took this brilliant picture of this tiny newt in one of the walls πŸ¦ŽπŸ’š

Charlcombe Lane re-opens today after being closed (apart from access) for 6 weeks as volunteers helped amphibians cross the road on their way to the lake. As the weather is forecast to be a little damp this week can drivers please keep an eye out for any stragglers πŸΈπŸ’š

A big thank you to VolkerHighways and B&NES Council for your ongoing support with the closure of Charlcombe Lane during the amphibian migration season It’s such a big help for our volunteers and gives the amphibians a fighting chance

I had a great chat with Charlie Taylor on BBC Somerset yesterday about the Toad Rescue and our best year since 2010. Managed to get a cricketing analogy in, comparing looking for amphibians with going in to bat in cricket πŸ’šπŸΈ I'm on at 3hr15 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
