Winter pond work is no easy task! On the #LondonBlueChain project, the team has battled ice, torrential rain and a lot of mud.
Despite the conditions, they’ve delivered school sessions, workshops and pond restoration across South London.
Here are some of their muddiest moments this season.

Every spring, common toads cross dangerous roads to reach breeding ponds. Many don’t survive.
Your donations help Froglife keep Toads on Roads running and protect local toad populations one tiny life at a time.

At the Peterborough Neighbourhood Wildlife Corridor project, the team have been conducting an experiment to see which bird feeders are more effective in schools across Peterborough.
We think the seeds have it- apart from 1 school where the squirrels had taken the cones as well as everything else!

Back in October, two Froglife projects, #LondonBlueChain & Peterborough #GreenTalent, dug a new clay-lined pond at Roots4Life in Greenwich.
The London team returned recently to find it full of rainwater and with toads on site. They'll be back soon to plant it up for spring.

From muddy trenches & a full refill, everyone got stuck in!

Over the past few weeks, our #BostonAndBeyond team have been inspiring Cubs, Beavers & Scouts to support native #amphibians and #reptiles.
Using LEGO wildlife gardens, young environmentalists explored how ponds, log piles & hibernacula can make a real difference at home.

With the rain coming in horizontaly last week, our usual session at Hampton Lakes Primary was indoors.
This didn't stop us having fun learning about the frog lifecycle, creating 'superhero toads' and playing a game where we had to catch the slugs and flies with our frog tongues!

Have you spotted amphibians around ponds this year? Some become active on mild winter days!

Our #GreenTalent team have been busy supporting our Reserve Warden at Hampton Nature Reserve preparing a pond for survey season.
The reeds need clearing so the newts can be seen and have space to perform their courtship dance. With breeding season nearly here, they're working quickly!

Our #WildMemories project for those living with dementia in Somerset, always use reclaimed wood on their projects.
Recently, some offcuts were transformed into these funky bird boxes. A simple way to reduce waste, spark creativity, and give something back to nature.

Big win for Scotland’s nature! The Natural Environment Bill passed by MSPs will bring in legally binding targets to restore wildlife and habitats. Huge thanks to LINK’s members and supporters who helped make this happen! Let’s keep pushing for strong action and funding to restore Scotland’s nature.

During pond restoration, our #LondonBlueChain team often find frogs, toads & newts.
Work slowly, handle with care (use gloves/buckets), give them a safe temporary spot, and restore some original water after.
