Monday 4 February sees the launch of a stunning new series, introduced by Sir David Attenborough, on BBC 1 Television; Life in Cold Blood. His previous programmes in a similar vein covered plants, birds, mammals and insects and this latest five-part series completes the sequence of the major groups of life on earth, with a close look at reptiles and amphibians.
What many people may not realise as they settle down in front of their TV sets to watch exotic lizards and frogs from around the world, is that we have our own amazing amphibians right here in Cumbria.
