FW1 Butts Hill Pond EWT Nature Conservation Area (0.3 ha) TQ899947
The EARG would like to point out that the following species are present on this site - Crested Newts, Smooth newts, Common Frog, Common Toad, grass snake, slowworm, viviparous lizard
The presence of these species would in our view require further survey to establish whether this key amphibian and reptile site meets the criteria
The EARG would like to see this site flagged up for further survey work

Rayleigh Mount - The EARG would like to flag up this site as a key amphibian site in the town of Rayleigh. Crested Newts have been recorded confirming a 17 year old record. Plus Smooth newts and common frogs - considering the location of this site it should be considered further in this review as a potential future LWS

M3 Magnolia Nature Reserve and Fields TQ860927
Within its citation the following should be added
The site holds the largest known population of crested and smooth newts in Essex and definitely in Rochford.

The presence of both frog and toad (National BAP)
An exceptional population of slowworms, lizards and grass snakes (all National BAP priority species) exist within the site making this area one of the key sites for Herpetofauna in Rochford
