Sorry to hear you feel that way Rob, but I do understand. I've been sort of semi-retired for some time now, rarely visiting old haunts and less enthusiastic about the whole thing in general to be honest thanks to these kind of events.

Don't become too distant though, plenty of us feel the same.

hi Keith,

great sighting (shame the pix eluded you) and wish id been there to see them!

im in Wales at mo. had a look in a local old graveyard (often good places huh?) and saw Vivs.

you know your expertise at shooting headless adders?
well heres an eyeless lizard! ;



also found a beautiful young slowie. tucked in between the sun-warmed gravestone and the grass/moss etc - often the best place to look for em in an old boneyard eh?



hope you have better luck with the lens next time!

GCN on the One Show last night, available on BBC i player with Richard Griffiths at the university of Kent.  Nice bit in the field but Mike Dilger couldn't answer whether they could colonise regular garden ponds in the studio and also a bit of bad / sensationalist PR about GCN holding up a flood relief scheme in Doncaster...]]> Wed, 16 May 2012 20:06:14 +0000 http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=951&PID=30169#30169 Grass Snake : 1000th post http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4227&PID=30168#30168 Author: will

Rob, you can't leave us on a low with 'Rushy Planed'!  come back with some good news - I'm sure you will.  1000 posts means you should be elevated to the rauk peerage, anyway!]]> Wed, 16 May 2012 20:01:58 +0000 http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4227&PID=30168#30168 Grass Snake : 1000th post http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4227&PID=30167#30167 Author: Iowarth

Good luck with "another productive patch " Rob. Try to pop back now and again at least.

You have been (and still can be)a great asset to our little community.

you got there right before me Suz!

im gutted.
like other ill really miss your specialist/experienced input Rob. youve informed this (relative) dunce no end and (in this punters opinion) regularly posted in an accessible and humorous format that helps win readers over to our (ie the herps) side.
posting helps stimulate interest and connects people to herps, like a site-bridging wildlife corridor. or something!
eg i didnt bother recording herps before i joined the site and now im obsessive about it!
part of that is down to the "regulars" like you.

so thanks for taking the time to share.

and if youre ever in Glos and want to see a few local Grassie sites....

best wishes for the future mate,
ben
