Hi again Keith,
As far as I know, Woolmer still supports all six native reptiles (and all six native amphibians, prior to the Pool frog becoming native, they could be there too for all I know, you'd need to ask a pond-hugger ). I would agree that Woolmer is not necessarily the best site to actually see these animals, but they are still supported. When you next wander down to Surrey, drop me an email and I'll show you some nice La sites! Steve |

Without being site specific, the Woolmer Forest area still does support Ca and La.

Hi Tony yes i do agree the fact that the mod still retains a lot of land certainly helps as lots it can remain undisturbed providing this present government do not decide to build on it ie allowing tescos etc as nothing seems safe today as i am sure you remember Frensham little pond in the 1950s and the sandy heather clad hillocks with vast sa colonies before they destroyed it .regards keith
