I caught a pair of adult aesculapians from the bank of the canal by London Zoo about 14 years ago - apparantly they had escaped a few years before from the zoo's Education Centre - would explain the colony there then!!

I have also caught midwife toads in High Wycombe, where there is a sizeable breeding population.

Muntjac are not native. They originate in Asia and are now classed as having reached pest proportion in some areas of the UK.

However, some sightings may be of Chinese water deer which are also non-native residents and look similar to muntjac.
