As such it is difficult to offer a meaningful snapshot of how the park looked at the date of registration without reference to contemporary documents which vary both in availability and comprehensiveness. An additional complication is the changes in CCS policy, which initially required the park to be substantially complete before registration, but later made a concession to allow partly-ready parks to register before they actually opened, a concession which was later withdrawn as meaningless.

    East Kilbride Frog Survey 2012 by Erik Paterson www.erikpaterson.co.uk [email protected] Supported by Common Frog (Rana temporaria) © Erik Paterson Contents 1. Summary - 2 1.1. Introduction - 2 1.2. Methods - 2 2. Results - 3 3. Discussion - 34 4. Acknowledgements - 35 5. Contacts - 35 6. References - 35 APPENDIX 1: Maps - i Page 1 of 35. 1. Summary As part of ongoing monitoring of the Common frog population in the South Lanarkshire town of East Kilbride a survey which followed up a 2000 report was initiated and undertaken by Erik Paterson to ascertain the changes in Common frog population and distribution throughout the town between 2000 and 2012. The 2000 report listed some eighteen sites within the town where frogs had bred and the 2012 report discovered 30 sites within the town, it was noted that many of the sites were not able to be relocated, in part due to industrial development resulting in total loss of the breeding pond and in part also due to unclear site names. Common frogs were found to be widespread and abundant within the town, breeding in most water bodies capable of sustaining them in numbers ranging from just one spawn clump in a pond to well over 200 in the one pond with a calculated total number of more than 672 female frogs having bred within the surveyed sites this season. 1.1. Introduction Following a Millenium survey of Common frog, Rana temporaria breeding sites around the South Lanarkshire town of East Kilbride, initiated and co-ordinated by South Lanarkshire Council Countryside Ranger Mark Brand, a second survey was initiated and undertaken by Erik Paterson to assess whether there had been a change in breeding locations and numbers during the twelve years following the original report.
