This slow worm was out and about the other morning crossing a small country road that lies exactly on the border of Dorset and Wiltshire. Distribution maps for  slow worms seem to be patchy around North Dorset in most literature yet they are actually quite common based on other peoples reported sightings. Still it was the first time I've seen one actively moving about for some time. Conditions humid overcast about 17deg C, time 09:12 august 31st. I'll send a record in.

very nice. i see she's left you a little gift to remember her by as well.

knowing that slowworms are usually found under cover i've been surprised by how many we've found in the open this year.
