Mathew
shows how to retrieve toads from one of the 26 new road
drains. If these drains are not checked regularly throughout
the year many amphibians die either from the pollutants
or from starvation. March 2001.

This female toad has lots of eggs and was found in one
of the car park drains. March 2001.

On
this particular evening during the spring migration 30
frogs and toads were returned to the Saxon Gate pond.
March 2001.

was probably the largest toad found during the 2001 toadlift.

The
four photographs above were taken using a video camera
and then processed digitally.

|
Yet
again archaeological excavations wreak havoc amongst the
amphibian population of Saxon Gate, placing more importance
on the past than the future. March 2001.
|
 |
Despite
the archaeological excavations some frogs and toads still
managed to reach the new road. Mathew makes sure they
complete the journey. March 2001.
