Posted: 28 Feb 2007 Hi again Keith, As far as I know, Woolmer still supports all six native reptiles (and all six native amphibians, prior to the Pool frog becoming native, they could be there too for all I know, you'd need to ask a pond-hugger  ).I would agree that Woolmer is not necessarily the best site to actually see these animals, but they are still supported. When you next wander down to Surrey, drop me an email and I'll show you some nice La sites! Steve Steve Langham - Chairman

Posted: 28 Feb 2007 hi again Steve thanks also I found a site near Verwood in the new forest a few years ago that had some young agilis basking come across the site by accident as I stopped for a brew with a lady friend and had to look a the bit of heather in a sandy clearing like you do, and was pleasantly suprised will keep in contact regards Keith ps need to get a c/a photo

Posted: 01 Mar 2007 I filmed at Longmoor camp in 1995 found smooth snake there - 2 males near FIBEA unit. Its an army base, so no one is going to collect there - I just love MOD land. 'I get my kicks on Route 62' |

Posted: 01 Mar 2007 Hi Tony yes i do agree the fact that the mod still retains a lot of land certainly helps as lots it can remain undisturbed providing this present government do not decide to build on it ie allowing tescos etc as nothing seems safe today as i am sure you remember Frensham little pond in the 1950s and the sandy heather clad hillocks with vast sa colonies before they destroyed it .regards keith
