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".

The Cairngorms Need Your Help

BSCG 40 years logo 160x160

In 2015 The Badenoch & Strathspey Conservation Group celebrated 40 years of speaking up for nature in the Cairngorms. Our efforts have helped ensure that this world class landscape still provides a refuge for Scotland’s rarest and most iconic wildlife, like Scottish wildcat, capercaillie, red squirrel and freshwater pearl mussel. Unfortunately both the outstanding scenery and wildlife that make the Cairngorms so special are increasingly threatened and are costly to defend.  Please make a donation to our work today and help protect these treasured landscapes and their wildlife.
