SARG success story

Friday 11th April 2008

GCN breed in recently created pond

When the historic woodland pond dried out due to lowering of the water table SARG members undertook the creation of a new pond 100m from the original site. After an anxious wait to see if we were in time adult GCN were observed in Kiosk pond, Merstham late the following summer.

A quick visit this week to this woodland margin pond has confirmed the presence of eggs of both GCN and Common newt in the folded leaves of Water forget-me-not.
