A few from the garden. The plan was to get a mass shot as in the perfect conditions of warm but overcast this afternoon I was spotting groups of over a dozen or more. They wouldn't play ball though so these shots were the best I could get. These ones were all really tiny too, quite a mix in brood sizes this year in the garden but glad to report it seems to be a bumper year for numbers in our wildlife garden. Lots of food about too in the high vegetation.

Nice! quite a few about with us at the moment, but like Tim, still some gravid females which is pretty unusual for us soft southerners.

I saw this very young viviparous lizard by the path at Stodmarsh in Kent a couple of weeks ago. It was probably just a couple of days old and had no fear of people yet.

Superb Jason, I guess your baby looked almost entirely black to the eye, mine must have been about for a while as the bodies were beginning to go brown already.

Thanks. It looked fairly black until the sun hit it. Then it had quite a metallic bronze sheen to it. It amazes me how independent and active they are immediately after birth.
