Nice! Are the two different colours indicative of male and female, I know very little...
Quite a few here at the moment under the cover each time I look, usually about 6 of different sizes, including just a few inches, so very pleased.

Neat Ben!
We've had a few killed by cats here this week. Not sure they were caught in my garden, but the cats hang around here if I don't shoo them off.

Another couple in the garden waste pile today, oddly I am only seeing them in the more sheltered part of the garden whereas the sheet which is in sunlight for most of the day hasn't given anything up at all yet.

Very nice Chubsta.
Though i've been scanning the ground and flipping likely-looking objects while i've been out and about, so far the only slow worms i've seen have been in the garden. |

Dim cooler days are often best for finding slowies under covers as they try to warm up.

First one of the year for me - nor a particularly nice day, misty but still, temperatures around 12degrees.
Quite a handsome frog too - |

Yep rain arrived here this afternoon, quite heavy for a time. Cooler but mild for the end of February. Can't complain about the rain, first year ever we had to top up the pond at this time of year, it is usually brimming over. This year though, I can only think of one other day it rained here in the past two months!

Lucky you with the lizards Gemma. I've looked to see if our (one?) is about, but no signs. Yes the days are warm, but nights frosty. However all change today with rain and promise of more days of it. Still it is mild and frog activity in two ponds.
