CONSERVATIONISTS have raised fears about falling number of frogs in the Spa.

The Worcestershire Wildlife Trust (WWT) is urging residents to contact them with information about frogs in their area.

WWT spokesman Geoff Travis said: "There are growing fears that the frog population in Worcestershire is dropping. We need evidence for this so we can find out why and do something about it.

"We would like some help with the following questions:

lHow many frogs have you seen?

lWhen was frogspawn first seen?

lDid the frogspawn survive or sink to the bottom of the pond, or did birds eat it?

lHave you seen sick or dead frogs?"

Anyone wanting to help can contact Geoff on 01905 774952.
