Hi Tim,

 

I`ve seen reps out in December plenty of times in GB but they weren`t native.  Wall lizards I am talking about of course.

Yep

I spotted two viviparous lizards basking at a local site in
Jan 2008. The first reptiles I spotted that year

Was that in Hampshire Jon?  I saw Zv and Vb basking on a sunny day in December with snow on the ground in the 80`s at Frensham, Surrey.

Hello

One of the great things about this forum is the huge amount of information available in past, still easily accessible threads.  For example see under "General - Reporting"  (go to the forum jump box at the bottom of the page), page 7 of 10, the thread "First reptile sighting of 2007"  for January common lizards.

Happy New Decade!

Peter

sorry for late reply but have mercy on a brand new member.
no reptiles spotted in dec or jan but i can report that i had crested newts gaining their regalia and starting to "lek" in late NOVEMBER last year. in my garden pond. GLOUCESTER.
a gardener on my postal round said he came across a "ball" of ANGUIS FRAGILIS (15 or so, assorted sizes- i quizzed him) in a cavity while rebuilding a drystone wall in STROUD during JANUARY.
Does that count?
Diversity.
