Protected species nowadays.

Sadly I've seen far more recently dead ones than live ones. Their habit of freezing when alarmed does not serve them well if they are crossing a vehicle track at the time!

I will admit I " borrowed " this pic from Nat Geo website, they are very quick and hard to photo!

I think the demise of the slow worm and grass snake is terrible, spent years trying to give them a good home in Hampshire, when I lived there.

We have Adders throughout the Moors here, but the only live ones I've seen were at Dudley Zoo when I were a nipper.

SWMBO and I keep our eyes peeled, but to no avail.

Take a trip to the " New Forest " , Hampshire. Still plenty living there!
It is said, if you walk quietly in the forest, you will hear " 2 and 2 is 4 " that would be the Adders!

It looks like the squirrel has found a new home and friend, he made about 4 visits yesterday, he's been busy burying nuts/seeds in the border this morning.

Great stuff William, the one that's just started visiting me, is very timid as soon as I go in the garden he's gone,

I've moved a couple of bird boxes to better position for next year, + a few more pictures one is my resident hedge sparrow

I seem to remember, when I lived in the cold and wet land, some of the coot´s had red " noses ", would that be the female?

Don´t know much about water fowl

Thanks, many of these in one particular spot just down the road from me. Never seen them any other place.
