Hi Darren,

Good to see that you have found the stories that Becky has been putting up on the BBC whilst we have been in Costa Rica! It´s been a bit strange seeing how the media over here, at home, and seemingly around the world has picked up on all this stuff and gone a bit mad! Id just like to mention that I spotted the second Duellmanohyla on that particular trip ;)!! But it is great to see that frogs have had some media spotlight over the last 2 weeks :), excellent!
