Decided to have a look at my slowies just before 6pm. It has been a decidedly cool day, so some keeping warm under the Coroline covers. Sorry one's a bit blurry - the result of trying to keep the camera steady and hold up the cover.

Great pic Suzi. I guess the female bottom right prefers her own company!

A little gathering under a cover late afternoon today. We had a lot of rain yesterday and it has been overcast today so stuff has been hanging around, not zipping off at top speed.
A terrestrial palmate newt found in long grass by the shed also - not photographed. |

nice finds Suz - and another reptile year draws to a close with these lovely babies, certainly makes me wax philosophical too!

You were lucky with the colour range Keith! Passing time...sometimes events seem like they happened only yesterday, sometimes like in another life.
Here's a photo of some new slowies from this morning, plus a waiting female I'm guessing. All under covers in the garden. |

You (and pix of beautiful slowies) would never become a bore as far as i'm concerned Suzi! You don't just post pics of slowies anyway - you include observations, comments, shots of the garden, 'daleks', your thoughts etc - keeps us going. Roughly how many do you think are present in your garden? I put a few roof slates down in my parents garden around 15 years ago (possibly more, i can't remember) and when i check them i sometimes recognise individuals i recall as younger animals (by their tone, scars etc). Which is always really pleasing! Here's 2 of the 'Vintage' refugia; |
