Nice one !

Fairly sure I recognise both of those, but will have to check with marking diagrams, so I know which bit of the common you were on :P

Just North of Frensham is Crooksbury Common, saw 4 female adders within 20 feet of eachother there today, where I usually only see the odd solo Adder at Frensham, could be worth a look ?

Fantastic sand lizard pictures.
I was also lucky to see some sand lizards on Frensham, prior to my digital camera days. Will have to go back and get some good pics.
I've also had a hard time finding adders, but its worth the persistance. I live not too far away from Epping Forest, so thats where I've seen a couple of adders.
