We've had a few requests to reveal the specimens making up our representation of the transgender pride flag, so here's a little more info!
As well as selecting specimens for colour matches, we tried to include objects from across different collections...
#TransDayOfVisibility
We'd planned to fly the transgender pride flag over the Museum this #TransDayOfVisibility, in a show of support for our trans and non binary colleagues, volunteers and visitors. Unfortunately we can’t fly it today, so we've let some of our collections display the same message.
91 toads, 2 newts and 4 frogs were rescued from the roads around Treborth tonight! @ToadRescue @ARC_Bytes @ARGroupsUK 💪🐸 success! Now time for a cuppa
#Adders out and about on Sunday! These males were observed warming up in the morning sun getting ready for breeding season! It is important to not disturb the adders at this time of year by keeping a respectful distance so they have the best chance of successfully mating
Some pictures from our latest toad patrol, 41 little toad friends (and a couple frogs and newts) total rescued 🐸

If you spot our any of our project teams at any events near you, do stop and say hi, our tables are normally filled with lots of herp-related goodies like below. You can pick up a copy of our #JustAddWater pond guide or one of our informational #UrbanTails species guides!
Last session kicking off now, we've had a fantastic time here at #HWM2020 thanks to @ARC_Bytes @ARGroupsUK and all the sponsors
Brilliant talk from Jeanette Hall from the Highland Biological Recording Group on how wind farms could be good habitat for adders! Really interesting conservation implications #HWM2020

Female adders do not usually breed every year. During a breeding year individuals may stop growing and lose one third of their body mass. [Photo credit: Tigerente, commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F…] #FridayFact
