[phil]

i was the gratefull guest of terrytherat and his lovely misses trish this weekend, and apart from showing me the local marsh frog colonies, (very noisey!!!) we took advantage of a welcome break in the bad weather and took a trip down to shoreham on sea to check out the wall lizard colony, which on closer inspection is doing very well





thanks for a great weekend tel, and i'll see you soon mate

The Wall Lizards down here are doing well because they start breeding relatively early in the year, and multiple clutch, so they're spreading fast!. As mentioned on another thread I don't think it'll be a good year for Sand Lizards sadly due to crap weather and the fact that only the first clutch of eggs tends to hatch, if they lay a second they invariably don't hatch in time...UK summers aren't long enough
