- Biography
- I am 48, married with a daughter. I have recently written and published my first book 'Newts in your pond and garden' and appeared on national TV to defend the money spent on UK Great Crested Newt mitigation projects(Tonight with Trevor McDonald). I also provided newt larvae for the filming of the new Alan Tichmarch wildlife series on BBC. Through my website I run a school visits programme and have recently secured grant and matched funding to visit schools across cheshire with a live amphibian exhibit to help raise awareness about the problems they face in the modern world.

I look forward to debate and discussion with the other members of this site. - My News
- 2 male Great Crested Newts and a male Palmate are back in my garden pond.
Last night I saw a female Great Crested Newt on the lawn presumably making her way back to the pond to breed.
In years past we never saw any newts in the pond before March.
Could this be a sign of climate change?
