Never had a depressing stretch like this on a walk before. All roadkill and logged in recordpool @argroupsuk.bsky.social

Thanks. I’m fed up with all of the recording platforms and how they gatekeep their data. Recordpool has the Yorkshire ARG verifying so the local group has access to local data. I do some verification for Yorkshire. We don’t get many slow worm records anywhere in east or east side of north Yorks

Finally some evidence of grass snake after 3 barren months. One sighting and this slough @ARGroupsUK @ARC_Bytes @froglifers Logged on RecordPool and off the gene bank

Hi @BirdTrack Great update. Where do the data go for the new taxa? I’m particularly interested in herps and whether @BirdTrack can be used as a substitute for Recordpool? @ARGroupsUK @ARC_Bytes

Probably very modest compared to many @BirdTrack users. I tend to switch to #Recordpool in herp season but now herps are included I may double up with Birdtrack

Anyone spotting reptiles or amphibians please do record via @recordpool Casual observations are just as important surveys. You can also now record via @BirdTrack and some local groups such as @KentRAG also have their own sightings submission platform via their website.

First herp of the year in my #eastyorks garden. Male smooth newt in pond @ARGroupsUK recorded on #recordpool
