Newt survey season approaches

Newt survey season fast approaches! The mild winter may mean that some species start to wake up from hibernation earlier than usual. WFE’s herpetologists are keeping a close eye on nearby ponds to see when great crested newts will become active. The usual season for survey is mid March to mid June, but surveys may start earlier in favourable conditions. Developers are advised to start planning for these seasonal surveys in good time.
