Reptile encounters are so rare nowadays on the @quantockhills that I felt very privileged to meet this #slowworm on my walk today. A very decent sized individual which managed quite a turn of speed when I attempted a close up shot! @SomersetWT @Natures_Voice

The middle of the road is no place to stop and admire the view so I moved this handsome chap to the safety of the grass verge this morning. #SlowWorm #Wildlife #MorningRun #Run #Running #GetOutside

Look at this #SlowWorm catching some sun in the compost heap at Parke, back on a sunny Thursday in April 🐍 This one is most likely a male as they are usually more grey in colour. Females are larger, with dark sides and a dark stripe down the back. 📷 Thanks to Ranger Steve

This is a juvenile #SlowWorm. They are much easier to identify as they smaller than adults and have quite distinctive markings- the dark line from head to tail and the dark strips down their sides. #reptile #nature #wildlife

Found this little dude in our garden today. So pleased as though we'd scared them off. Last saw one in 2020. #slowworm

A couple of Herps from Abbey Lenses Wood today. Not rare but lovely to see. The Common Toad (Bufo bufo) and a Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis). It was quite cool so the latter didn’t move away. Both carefully covered up again. #Toads #SlowWorm #Herpetology #BritishReptiles

Very exciting to find a Slow Worm in the garden just now. Only the second in 10 years here. It was sitting jn a dangerous high traffic bit of the garden so was relocated before it was trodden on by mistake. #Guernsey #slowworm
