grass snake

The first time I have seen a grass snake in Hertfordshire! I was driving home from work along the little lane that lead from my school to the road in Ware and it crossed the road in front of me. I stopped the car and got out to watch but did not have the camera unfortunately. Lovely experience as it went quite slowly and was not bothered that I was watching it!

greenhouse frog

We found this lovely frog in our greenhouse, he can obviously get in under the sides of the glass where the bricks are breaking up. He looks very happy and gets very excited when we water the tomato plants in there!

sand lizard

We ventured out to a new reserve for us at Needs Ore Point on the Hampshire Coast. We were lucky enough to snap this fantastic sand lizard basking in the sunshine under a bush right near to the information post at the reserve. After being lost from the New Forest a programme to reintroduce the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) was started in 1989 so this must be the result of that work.
