They are up and about now. OH found one sunning itself on the end of driveway so relocated it out of sight of the cats. I disturbed one while weeding the sweetpea patch and it vanished into the undergrowth.
I dislike letting the grass grow too long before cutting as they can come to grief if you're not vigilant when using strimmer/mower.

I've never seen one of those Sweetpea so I envy you yours. I seem to remember Sue/ W.F. on here had them breeding in her compost heap didn't she.

We seem to get quite a few locally. If you have them try putting a piece of corrugated tin or suchlike and check under it regularly. If they are around they will find it. Lovely creatures and not slow either. |

Here is one of our resident slowworms. Not the best pic as I didn't want to disturb it unduly. It often gets under an upturned seed tray which I leave just outside the g'house.  I'll try and do a better pic later. |

I think I can make it out curled around amongst the leaves, has it made a nest out of the straw & leaves there?
