Hello everyone.

I thought that I would share some information that I recieved recently from Eddie Brede of the Zoological society of London regarding current Chytridiomycosis research and how everyone can get involved.

https://www.zsl.org/field-conservation/uk-native-species/ukchytridiomycosis,842,AR.html

Have a good read especially of two of the sections in brown text, namely "swabbing guide" and "biosecurityARGUK4" if you plan on becoming involved. I recieved my pack of swabs today and will be using it on the next rainy warm night as we have been assisting the "Toads on Roads" campaign at work. The toads have begun moving away from the spawning site now at our location so it is the ideal time to swab. Info on Toads on Roads available here; http://www.froglife.org/ToadsOnRoads/ToR_history.htm
