Field Herping in Somerset

Yesterday I drove down to Somerset for a day's herping - with the specific intention of observing the introduced Iberian water frogs (Pelophylax perezi). I found over fifty adult and subadult specimens of P. perezi as well as N. Helvetica, B. bufo and L. vulgaris. The highlight of the day was having the fortune to observe a grass snake catching an Iberian water frog!
