Martin, the sloworm and peacock are fantastic, well done sir !

How did you manage to creep up on a sloworm ? When we were kids the things just shot off as soon as we got near them.

Actually the other end of the sloworm is nailed to a tree.

I've only seen 3 slow worms in my entire life, never had a camera with me on the occasions either, well done.

Now that was lucky.

obviously joking........

Following the same theme I went to do some work on the pump and filtration for the pool and as usual lifted the lid and went to turn off one of the valves. I have no idea what made me look down but I can assure you my hand was withdrawn very smartly!


Not photo quality but taken quickly with the point & press.

That looks like an adder?
Am i right?

[V6GTO]

I think that's a Grass Snake but I could be wrong...I certainly wouldn't put my hand near it!.

I'd say it was very much an adder.

Go on, give it a stroke.
