British field herping

[Joeo1507]

Good old british herps! - probably doesnt compare much with you foreigners though

(these were in 2008 / early 2009)

Common frog, Rana Temporaria

Common Toad (Bufo Bufo)

Another Common Frog, (Rana Temporaria)

Smooth or Palmate newt, I always get confused between them ( Lissotriton sp.)

And a baby one not long been on land I should imagine.

There were some pics of various slow worms but I cant find them, also I saw some common frogs in my garden the other day

Tell me what you think.

Did I not read in the Sun the other day that "British herps are the best herps in the world"? And "bloody foreigners"? I'm not sure what else Rupert Murdoch is spoon feeding you there lately .

How common are they now where they are found? And what subspecies is it?

Alpines are found commonly if you know where to look, however ill admit that i dont think ive found one.
