		<description><![CDATA[It’s the end of the 3 months radio-tracking and I can’t believe the time has gone by so fast and its time to head home! The last two weeks have been really hectic and so seemed to pass much faster. We  supported ‘Save the Frogs Day’ an event organised for an American charity to help raise awareness of frogs, also an opportunity to then help highlight the work of the project on island. We prepared an educational display about frogs &#8230; <a href="http://www.mountainchicken.org/blog/final-goodbye-word-from-the-volunteers/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Mountain Chicken Team prepare to take part in the international &#8216;Save the Frogs Day&#8217; organised by a US charity called &#8216;Save the Frogs&#8217;. Events are taking place in 30 different countries around the world in an effort to raise awareness of the fight that many amphibian species are facing. Here in Montserrat the volunteers have been busy with their sketch pads creating a wonderfully engaging display in the public library to educate the Montserratian general public about the fantastic &#8230; <a href="http://www.mountainchicken.org/blog/save-the-frogs-day/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are now into our third and last month of radio-tracking so it comes to no surprise that we are starting to see failed transmitters. Batteries are starting to run out and frogs are free to hop off into the sunset. Of course the team will continue for the next month to radio-track those that are still beeping and we sweep up any bonus frogs along the way to gather as much data as we can in our efforts to &#8230; <a href="http://www.mountainchicken.org/blog/radio-tracking-must-go-on/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A  little over a month ago, frog 120 suddenly fell off the grid together with his companion 110. We searched the whole of Sweetwater up and down, day and night, but the frogs seemed as swept off the face of the earth. The only sign of them ever being present was the steady beeping from 120&#8242;s frequency out the belly of frog 542 and the constant empty cracklings on the receiver when tuned into 110. Until last week.

Not everything that happens in the frog community is understood by mankind, not even if you&#8217;re part of the Mountain Chicken Team&#8230; 120 and 110 were two happy frogs that always used to hang out with each other. When 120 decided to hop down to the ghaut, 110 followed. When 120 moved into a nice burrow on the West Bank, 110 paid the rent for the one next door &#8230; <a href="http://www.mountainchicken.org/blog/the-mysterious-disappearing-of-120/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The crusaders The last couple of weeks have run pretty smoothly in terms of the radio tracking, most of the frogs are staying close to ghaut and their last locations. There are only a couple for frogs that have challenged us to find them. 667 this individual, has gone up on the east bank of the ghaut, high up and likes to hang out on burrow system under a rooted tree stump.

The schedule consisted of a visit to the Public Market, an opening of the new museum and a Steel Pan Celebration Concert performed by the local schools.

		<description><![CDATA[One evening Blacka and I were heading off to one of the original survey sites looking for surviving mountain chickens. Fairy Walk is one of the sites that has been regularly monitored for mountain chickens since 1998, since well before the deadly chytrid fungus arrived on the Island. We walk a route, a transect, which generally follows the ghaut. Between the start and the finish of the transect we intensively look for eye-shine or calling. It’s quite fun hopping from &#8230; <a href="http://www.mountainchicken.org/blog/amazing-fairy-walk-survivor/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Catching the mountain chickens to swab them is not as easy as it sounds; finding them for one, even with the radio transmitters it isn’t always a given that the frogs are moving more and further distances we have our work cut out for us! Even when we do find them they might be underground in burrows or under the rocks and completely inaccessible!
