Leaping forward for reptiles and amphibians
Adder, smooth or grass snake by name,
Our native snakes are not all the same.
The adder’s stylish zig-zags black
Make a splash along its back.
The smooth snake, who is rare to find
Has smoother scales than the other kinds.
The grass snake is the last of the three,
They love to swim – it’s a sight to see!
Snakes may have a difficult time,
But seeing one is just sublime!

Froglife’s Communications & Fundraising Officer, Ashlea Mawby, felt inspired by the work she does here at Froglife and wrote this poem.
Our Conservation Youth Worker Trainee wrote this poem about the River Nene Dragon Finder launch event:
Town Hall venue, impressive ceiling;
Everyone’s coming to the big revealing!
Get ready the banners, badges, projectors;
James and Nathan are the project’s directors.
Guests arriving! Greetings, drinks;
It’s starting! ‘Seats please!’ Latecomers sneak in!
Tales of dragons, adventure, and hedgehogs?!
Frogs, toads and newts of course are mentioned.
Now time for food, talking, meeting;
Even chat to the Mayor whilst we are eating!
‘A successful launch!’ ‘A joyful scene!’
‘Can’t wait to find dragons in the Nene!’
