Slow Worm

On the walks and fields they manage they place several corrugated tins down to keep an eye on the reptile life that use them. We must have seen about 30 slow worms during the three days. They also often get Common Lizards and we saw one Grass snake enjoying the warmth.

I think most folks will know what these are, but if you don't.. They are not actually worms or snakes but legless lizards. You can tell because they have eye lids and snakes do not. They are a protected species and we do actually have them in the Hastings, East Sussex area, but I've only ever seen one dead baby one and one detached tail.
