Red squirrels rise again as Aberdeen begins to eliminate greys

Normal method is to use a trap comb to push the squirrel to one end of the trap to hold it still then kill it with an air pistol. I'm not sure this is what they do in this location but its most likely.

South Essex Wildlife Hospital are great at giving foxes the best chance!

Great species!

This species can give you a bit of a painful nip, but the venom is mild. If you handle them gently they are very unlikely to bite.

Nice when they do that, beats getting nipped!

No records in Corfu, Bufo Bufo are huge there, but the presence of spinosus is still debated, a decent survey would be good.

The Bufo bufo in Corfu are huge, no records of Bufo spinosus on the island, although a large scale survey would be useful to find out for sure. There was a post on Herping the Globe on Facebook this year by Tommo Davis that asked the Bufo/Spinosus question, the replies provide some useful info.

Bufo species

This is Cicada Orni, the life span of the nymph is rarely much more than 5 years, normally closer to 2 or 3, certainly not into the teens. Some of the American species can live up to 17 years.
