i've had a fantastic day here which means thier all out in force.
and i had to rescue an odity from my sister terrified throwing fit, now a resident of my armoury, warm dry and plenty to catch.
also spotted was this gorgeous Wasp spider, Brilliant greens and yellows on it. i really need to find my camera charging lead. its spider month after all.
slow worms are a fascination ever since a kid, my dad used to be afraid of them but used to bury the fear to show me them as a kid, so i wouldn't pick his phobia up. in doing so he cured his own fear. when clearing the second driveway i found a few of both sexes and my gardens a moggie free zone (thanks to a psychotic Merl Collie and a staffie crossed with a whippet (just as adgile as a cat and a damn site quicker). It's a criminal offence to kill or injure any of the UK's native reptiles. Slow-worms are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. It is an offence to kill, harm, injure, sell or trade them in any way.
