In Memory

David Elton

10 May 1938 - 15 Dec 2023

Dad had a life-long interest in frogs, toads, newts, grass snakes and adders. He used to visit ponds as a youngster, cycling out from Newmarket, to see what he could find. He dug a pond for us as children and Tom later reciprocated, making a pond for Dad in his garden which attracted frogs, toads and newts. We’re not sure that he was overly impressed that toads spawned in his pond last year rather than frogs, but we were fascinated! We have no idea where the newts came from as the garden is not surrounded by wildlife-friendly habitat, but we were overjoyed that they found Dad’s pond. Just a small pond, but what a difference to an elderly man with a love for wildlife who found it difficult to get out and about.
