Funny you should say that.... I am starting a newt translocation in Wrexham on the 26th of this month and will be up for about 2-3 weeks so will have most of the morning and all afternoons off!! I will give you a ring this next week to try and sort some times out.

Nice fish you have there as well John!

Great cresteds? Smooths or palmates?
Newts were common in my childhood and I still have a great affection for them. It seems sad to me that they're becoming rare so good luck with it.

"most of the mornings and afternoons off" love it!!!!!

Dave I do hope you're self employed or that your employer doesn't have access to this forum. I presume that you put the other 7 hours work in during the night?

Yep, will be setting bottle traps and torching most nights with 3hrs work checking bottles, traps and refugia early the next moring, so no I am not taking the mick with the client!! just good to get the days almost free. But yeah not a bad job!!

Sunfish, they are cresties but there is also palmate and smooth on site which will be translocated as well.
