Amphibian and Reptile Groups of the UK (ARG UK) have replaced their regional meetings with online seminars. These include contributions from Rick Hodges and Mike Phillips of KRAG (Kent Reptile and Amphibian Group).

You can find these via their website: https://www.arguk.org/info-advice/events-arg-uk-seminar-series

Due to the cancellation of our field programme this year, there will unfortunately be none of the usual meeting reports to compile into this year's Bulletin. To make up for this, the Assistant Editor would be happy to receive any reports from members, whether from your house or garden, your local area or further afield in Kent. These can be accounts for specific sites and occasions or observations of notable species. If you are interested in contributing, please get in touch via the website.
