In some parts of the UK the winter freeze has been followed by reports of dead amphibians. We do not know if there has been any problem for amphibians in Badenoch and Strathspey and we and the Highland Biological Recording Group would like to hear of any usual records of dead fish and amphibians discovered when the thaw starts. For an online form intended to improve understanding on the phenomenon see: www.pondconservation.org.uk/bigponddip/bigpondthawformonline
We know our toads suffer mortality on the road but have they and other amphibians been troubled by winter ice?

Nick Clegg in Strathspey on 20 January 2011.
In his maiden speech on 19 May 2005 in Westminster Danny Alexander said "the current reality of climate change are all too apparent to my constituents, not least because they are highly visible through the fortunes of the Scottish ski industry".
Danny Alexander also used his maiden speech to say: "Clearly, the need to develop the tourist industry further must be accommodated in such a way that it does not at the same time undermine the natural features that attract the visitors in the first place. We must not kill the goose that lays the golden egg".
