The new scrapes at the CWT Red Rocks nature reserve have been a success. Male natterjack toads were heard calling and spawning took place. You can listen to a recording of their calls from April this year: http://picosong.com/CfXh/
The pools now contain lots of tadpoles which hopefully will metamorphose and increase the population of toads.
For more information about the work being carried out by CWT, including an update on habitat management, see the news section on their website: New Home For Natterjacks
