Wildlife at the North Elmham Cathedral Meadows

Amphibians

Species recorded since April 2018: 2.

Coverage: incomplete: Only a few records of any amphibian here. Although there aren’t many additional species that are likely (Smooth Newt Triturus vulgaris is perhaps most likely) there aren’t enough records of the two commoner species to formulate a clear picture of their occurrence here. Identification confidence is high - the two species recorded are easily differentiated.

All photos below were taken at the Cathedral Meadows.
