Froglife is a national wildlife conservation charity focused on the conservation of the UK’s reptile and amphibian species and their associated habitats.
@froglife.bsky.socialFroglife staff member Darren recently popped outside to put the recycling out, only to discover this handsome chap hiding underneath the bin! This beautiful great crested newt had found himself a cosy little hiding spot!
@froglife.bsky.socialOur #GreenTalent team have been improving access to three ponds at Boardwalks NR, helping to make future wildlife surveys possible!
Restoring and managing ponds provides vital habitat for amphibians, insects and other wildlife.

@froglife.bsky.socialOur #ScottishGreenPathways team joined students from Glasgow Kelvin College to build a hibernaculum at Bishops Loch!
Students learned new skills, created winter shelter for wildlife, litter-picked & even spotted speckled wood butterflies.
@froglife.bsky.socialTV naturalist Steve Backshall met Froglife’s Dr Andrew Smart in Cornwall to learn about our 'Adders in Cornwall' project, investigating the threats facing these declining snakes.

@froglife.bsky.socialOur #GreenTalent team will be attending the Yaxley Community Orchard Apple Day on Saturday 10th October, 11am-3pm.
Come along and see the plans for the orchard's pond and some of the placements in action digging it while you enjoy a freshly pressed apple juice!
@froglife.bsky.socialOur #GreenTalent team have spotted smooth Newts while checking reptile mats!
With ponds disappearing, these amphibians need our help. The team are restoring ponds at Boardwalks Nature Reserve, hoping newts will breed there next year!
@froglife.bsky.socialOur #GreenTalent team are excited to be on their way to visit our #LondonBlueChain team to carry out some habitat management of an urban reserve today!
@froglife.bsky.socialCitizen Science is so useful for research because members of the public can report findings on a scale much larger than any one organisation can.
Anytime you see a reptile or amphibian, log it on our free Dragon Finder app and we can use your data to map populations: https://ow.ly/6sCT50ZSFez
@froglife.bsky.socialIt’s always nice when a partner goes the extra mile to say thank you!
Our #LondonBlueChain team received this lovely card from staff & members at Brixton’s Mosaic Clubhouse after digging a wildlife pond & running a creative session as part of Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan's Green Roots funding.

@froglife.bsky.socialOur #GreenTalent Placement, Peter, recently discovered the shed skin (or slough) of a common lizard while out at Hampton Nature Reserve.
Like other reptiles, common lizards shed their skin as they grow – a brilliant sign of the wildlife calling the reserve home!
@froglife.bsky.socialOur #CoalfaceToWildspace Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire & The Lothians team met up with our Operations Manager, Darren, to learn how to fly a drone!
This exciting day was planned so, once they get their flying and operating IDs, the team can record important imagery of their project sites.
@naturechampions.bsky.socialReposted by @froglife.bsky.social#DYK Common Lizards are unusual among reptiles because they incubate their eggs inside their bodies instead of laying them, giving them their other name: 'viviparous lizard'.
Their #NatureChampion is Katie Hagmann MSP @katiehagmann.bsky.social in collaboration with Froglife @froglife.bsky.social
@froglife.bsky.socialSpot the turtle!
Our #LondonBlueChain team spotted these at a pond in Lesnes Abbey Woods. Turtles & terrapins found in the UK are Invasive Non-Native Species, often introduced via the pet trade.
