Question about bubbles.



Does anyone know if this is a marsh frog and is it native to this country?

yes nigel it is a marsh frog and i think it was taken at rspb rainham marshes. They are not native but well and truly here to stay now.

Thanks for the info Barry, it was indeed taken at Rainham Marshes, by me in fact.



Do you know if they are present throughout the UK or just localised areas?

Has far as i know they are mainly with-in the southeast... don't know if you knew mine was taken at rainham marshes aswell. lol

Great programme - An animals Guide to Britain - shame it was spoilt by using . . metric!

The county's been officially using largely metric measurements for more than 40 years, I hardly think their use is a major problem

The program stated last night that the Beaver born in Knapdale was the first born in the UK, This is wrong as there are over twenty Beavers living on the River Tay in Scotland. They have been there for over 10 years a lot longer than the Knapdale Beavers. The Scottish government is trying to catch all theres Beavers and re home them or put them to sleep if they can not be re-homed with in 3 weeks. So far they have court one a young Beaver that should have been left with its parents. This Beaver was Born in Scotland and has since died in the care of the Zoo in Edinburgh. The beavers will and should be protected by EU Law. Yet all involved with the trial at knapdale are backing the removal of the Beavers on the Tay ( yet they will ask for your money to help fund there 3 million pound project, when they have had Beavers there all the time. How any one can work in in conservation and back having them killed is beyond me. And yes they are the right Beavers not like the Norwegian beavers that are showing signs of inbreeding. All the papers are there to back this up. If you are going to tell the public about Beavers please get the facts straight.

I started using metric on an archaeological site in Winchester in 1970 and I'm an American. Some people are just Luddites. Now lets discuss the American billion vs the rather outdated British thousand million.



I like the mute swan photo.
