Article in the 'Farnham Diary' local paper

In Today's issue of the Farnham Diary, there is a short piece outlining the potted history of the Farnham Castle colony of Wall lizards.

The aim of the article is to contact local people who have first hand experience of seeing the colony, and determining its exact location (to the nearest wall). Hopefully we will either determine that the colony still exists, or we will be able to put an approximate date to its decline.

The first Toad of the season to be found in my garden emerged today! (Farnham, Surrey), he was sat under his usual refugia after a winter's hibernation. I'd have thought he'd be heading off to a pond by now ! - Steve
