Have you seen or surveyed reptiles or amphibians in the UK? Put them in our Record Pool!

Inspired by the recording activities of our National network of volunteer groups around the UK, ARG UK are proud to launch “Record Pool”, a national web based amphibian and reptile recording database, as a resource to collect data through the UK in the interest of monitoring native populations for the purposes of conservation and ecology.

Whether you’ve seen a toad in the back garden, an adder whilst out on a walk, have a clipboard full of newt data from a field trip, or are a professional ecologist, we encourage you to put your records in the ARG UK Record Pool!

For online help with identification, or confirmation of photos, go to: iSpot from The Open University. For iphone & ipad users you can download the HerptileID - Amphibian & Reptile Conservation App from itunes

The Record Pool

All the data entered into the record pool remains the copyright of the recorder and is stored onto a central database server. The intention of the recordpool is to capture data from around the UK from a variety of different sources. All the sightings will be forwarded to the relevant local recorder whether that is the local ARG, LRC or County recorder.
