Permission has been granted for #HyNet to install a cable under #TalacreBeach and #GronantDunes in #NorthWales. The #SSSI is home to rare protected #SandLizards, #NatterjackToads and #GreatCrestedNewts and is a vital breeding ground for #LittleTerns 🧵

Little Bugs celebrated #HedgehogAwarenessWeek! We enjoyed a #hedgehog hunt, story-time, making clay hedgehogs and sculpting the BIGGEST hedgehog in the world!! (Probably 😜) And we met some #greatcrestednewts along the way! @wildlifebcn.org

Little Bugs is taking a break next Wednesday as we have a school visit. We'll be back on the 7th May. And we MIGHT bump into Henry checking the #GreatCrestedNewts!

Casually waking up in the middle of the night remembering that great crested newts smell like pea shoots or roasted nuts and nobody knows why...

It is an incredible time to view the courtship rituals of #GreatCrestedNewts (Triturus cristatus) at the Ramsey Heights nature reserve! The repetitive fan and powerful lash, then ascending unfurling quiver, wafting pheromones over the female. Hope they get their girls! @wildlifebcn.org
If one was a conspiratorially-minded anti-coal activist, one might think about about setting up a surreptitious breeding scheme for #greatcrestednewts. Just a thought. Cracking story from @DeSmogUK....
