   A few hours of sunshine brought out some common lizards in my local patch, including some 'sausages' yet to give birth - no sign of any babies as yet...

	Synchronised basking in last pic? Rained all day here in East Devon so doubt any basking anywhere.

	Thanks Tim; I was in Dorset a couple of days ago and even there the commons were still full of babies Suzi - yes, looks like those three are on sun loungers!

	Saw my first baby today here in sunny Blackpool, not on a coastal sight but about 1.5 miles inland, the poor weather not having much of an effect. Ray.

	Funny you should post Ray as I was going to post a comment saying those lizards were lying as packed as people on Blackpool beach used to be when I was a kid. You get more sun in the Fylde than many parts of the country I think.
