That looks like an interesting herping spot! The second pic tells a story...........and I'd love to go flip through everything!
Those concrete drainages can produce some interesting finds. Once things get in there, they're pretty much stuck, at least until the next heavy rain washes them farther down.
On Okinawa, they use small (~20cmX30cm) concrete drainages along the sides of the road. Apparently the drains are death traps for the newts. The next time I'm there, I need to take a flashlight and walk along them. They're probably good at trapping small snakes and ranid frogs as well.
