Posted: 29 Oct 2010 By chance I heard today from someone at work about coming across 3 slow-worms in a tangle out on a path in the sun on Tuesday this week (26th). He picked one up to show his young children and they all then disappeared into the long grass - the slow-worms not the children! However it wasn't up here in Derbyshire where he has occasionally come across them in his compost heap, as on Tuesday they were actually down at his sister in laws and walking on the coastal path on the north Cornish coast. Got him to show me where it was on the aerial photos on Keith Balmer's Bedfordshire Natural History Society's Grab a Grid Reference webtool so I can send the record in to the relevant people in Cornwall. http://www.bnhs.co.uk/focuson/grabagridref/html/index.htm Derbyshire Amphibian & Reptile Group www.derbyshirearg.co.uk |
