Is there any sense in France?
The last time I had frog legs over there, there was no worry about them.
Amphibians are the group of animals that are most threatened.
They are really in trouble in a big way.
Now, is there any sense of that in France?
I remember being on the Loire, for instance.
Going up the Loire, you hear this racket all the time, the frogs blazing away at a great rate.
Is there any sense in France that they may be on the way out?
Are there fewer such choruses now than there were?
Is there any evidence of that?
Well, that might be an Ireland question.
We're a kind of a pocket which isn't affected.
The rest of the world is very much affected by declines.
Well, it's a very austere place, the Camargue.
I find that the times I've been there, it's either terribly cold in winter and there's cold winds and that kind of thing, or it's blistering hot in summer.
