Since the discovery of the great crested newt population in Wilrijk in the vicinity of Groen Neerland
and the palmate newt in the Uilenbos, there has been an increasing interest in amphibians. The adult
specimens are easy to recognize, but for the larvae that is a lot more difficult. For the green
frog complex it is even more complicated, especially for the larvae. We were able to determine this this year.
Tonight we will briefly present the monitoring results of the past year with some nice
images and review the main characteristics of the different species, with specific
attention to recognizing the different larvae. In the final part we will give you an
overview of ongoing projects such as the educational salamander path in Wilrijk,
the planning for new pools, ...
An interesting and educational info evening and an excellent start for the next monitoring season.
