[junipree]

i caught a slowworm in calne.

it was a snakelike lizard with very small legs.that was in 1989. do you still find them around

"unlike frogs, toads rarely jump" *toad jumps away* "oh bugger"

LOL!

Thanks for showing the amphibians. you found alot. I have a pond but it is only habitat to 9 common frogs at the minute. I know that a place nearby to me used to be home to the great crested newt but I wonder if they still live thnere? I used to have common toads at my grandma's and in my dads old quarry. Any way thanks for the video! Toadoy98

Cool Vid The Newts Were Cool :D

[Neverendingryan]

Thanks. It seems alike the northwest of US aside from the small toads ( They use to get huge here, but I haven't seen one in years).

Here's to the frogs...

A young David Attenborough in the making? I enjoyed that.

[benwaddams]

Hello mate, wow, thanks for the comment, way too kind, but about the nicest thing anyone's said to me! I'm just doing what I love and if people enjoy watching it and maybe learn a couple of things, that makes me happy too. Thanks alot mate,

Ben

Anytime, thanks for the entertainment. I watched all your videos and really enjoyed them all. I don't get much time nor chance to explore UK widelife especially living Bristol. I do have a nice pond, plenty of frogs, damselflys, pond skaters and water boatman but unfortunaly toads are rare (too many main roads) and the newts we used to have fled, probably because we have too many fish now due to them breeding all the time.

[Speeedo86]

Having said that I'm lucky enough to have been abroad a fair few times. I've been to S.Africa 7 times (my Mums from SA) and Zimbabwe once (Victoria falls aswell). I see you got a treat of a safari in SA, fantastic stuff. My faveourite had to be a bush baby I saw at night! My other faves were chameleons, praying mantis and seeing a rain spider (beast) being attacked by a huge hornet that lays it's larvae in the spider! Also saw lots of widelife in Mount Ranier national park near Seattle USA.

[benwaddams]

Wow, u really have been around abit! Great stuff. I've been to Africa a few times and I know I could spend a lifetime there and still be fascinated and surprised by turning over a rock out there. But yer, I never really saw very much UK wildlife before I started filming it. I think our Grass Snakes have to be one of the most underated reptiles going! Great chatting mate. Keep up the travelling,

Ben

[Speeedo86]

The only grass snake I've seen is a dead grass snake, and a few of them, ):

[indigomuscles]

Ben

[2dead2die]

Good job man!

Gotta love that look on toads faces :)

Still desperate to find a frog :/

And wow, Swampy starred in this one, man he's a gorgeous dog!

[billflowers]

Great vid, as usual. It is really good to see all the little herps of little Britian.
