Request from Surrey Amphibian and Reptile Group

Danial Winchester of SARG, who recently gave us a talk, has requested records of any sightings of reptiles and amphibians by members.  These can be entered directly onto the website www.surrey-arg.org.uk by clicking on The Animals and then on Enter Sightings.  As much detail as possible would be valued - grid reference, site name, date, species, sex (if known), life stage (adult/juvenile if known, or egg), and any other information.  Anyone without email can write to him at: 17 Badger Court, Broad Ha'penny, Boundstone, Farnham, Surrey GU10 4TZ.  He would also welcome suggestions for potential survey sites for SARG in Elmbridge.
