	I really think reptiles aren't considered in a lot of cases of ripping stuff out. I was out at the weekend in a place I hadn't been before which was very rough pasture/marshy and surrounded by gorse bushes (tall) and other scrubby cover. Several excavators were parked and a fire was smouldering of gorse that was being ripped out. I flushed up 3 meadow pipits in the pasture and I'm sure adders might like it in the area. Well perhaps I ought to put that in the past tense.
