Wednesday 29th March 2006 Monkton NR
A brief look at Monkton NR, mostly around the pond. Plenty of Frogs
- and spawn, good numbers of Smooth Newts and about 8 Great-crested
Newts showing very well. Not much in the way of flowers - Sweet Violet and Coltsfoot
being the most conspicuous. (F Solly)

Manston Court Road Thanet
Several mad March Hares were racing around in the field along
Manston Court Road this morning, much to the delight of passing
motorists. (Simon P)

Sunday 12th March 2006 South Swale
I cut down to look along the ditch and saw a mammal with it's head stuck
out of a 6" plastic pipe - it was about the size of a polecat, but
marked like an otter - I'm guessing it must have been an escaped polecat-ferret
because it was very tame, and seemed as curious about me as I was about
him. (Keith Pankhurst)
