Hi Alan,

I was at Frensham on Saturday and saw 3 sand lizards, plus quite a number of common lizards. Took some pics (not digital) and just waiting for them to be processed. Hopefully they'll come out, although your pic is very impressive.

Hi Daniel, :¼)
Great stuff, looking forward to your pictures. I saw 3 today , but only this one was kind enough to sit still for pictures.
Cheers,
Al

Whoop - Found 'em !

Finally found my first confirmed Frensham Sand lizard, although pretty poor photos I got of it. Only 5 metres away was a beautiful female adder to boot (basking in heather, but its tail was sticking out), made the whole day's tramping about worth while :P

Fantastic Day at Frensham today for Reptiles !

5 LAs, a few LVs and 2 VBs, 2nd of which, had I strode 4 inches further I would have stepped on !....gave us both quite a fright !

Guess there's such a thing as walking too softly :P

Hardly saw another person, Great day !

Been to Frensham again today . Sand lizards very active , and I lost count of how many I saw . Many were sub adults , but I only noticed one of this years babies.
Also saw one thick set grassy about 2ft long.
