Amongst other things this week I've been using a new eDNA technique to check for the presence of Great Crested Newts. This involves taking water samples from ponds and eradicates the need to use bottle traps. Great to be involved in this cutting edge methodology. The downside is you don't need to see the newts to prove presence, but on the upside eDNA is a lot more scientific than a homemade trap made from an old pop bottle and cane.
