CALLING all nature loves to an event to learn more about one of Flintshire's native and endangered species.

Join Flintshire Council's countryside rangers and the site manager for a dusky walk through Talacre dunes and learn about the endangered Natterjack Toad and hopefully they will sing us a chorus too.

The event takes place on Tuesday, April 16 from 7pm to 9pm, and the rangers will be meeting at the Gamfa Wen car park in Talacre.

The Natterjack Toad is confined to coastal sand dune systems, coastal grazing marshes and sandy heaths; they are often associated with shallow, warm ponds in sand dune slacks as they require warmer water in which to breed successfully. Natterjack Toads are found on about 60 sites in Britain and occur on a small number of sites in south-west Ireland, as they are threatened by a loss of coastal habitat. But the banks of the Dee Estuary are one of the toad's most highly populated areas, due to the dedicated conversation work of local volunteers.

If you are lucky, you will hear the Natterjack's call, a loud rasping rolling croak ‘errr…errr…errr’, which can be heard from up to 2km away.

Please book in advance to take part. Please either ring 01352703900 or email countryside@flintshire.gov.uk to book your place.
