We were having coffee by the pond today when a grass snake swam across in front of us. It is good to see them back again.  The OH went to find it but it had disappeared, how can two feet of snake just disappear? |

I was amazed seeing this Common Lizard in.the garden at work the other week.  He was out today in the extremely warm and sunny weather today too |

I really don't want to see any snakes in our garden again If you don't do snakes I can imagine it's very unsettling. I love them and am extremely proud that they breed in the compost heaps each year. |

When we built the extension to our house the grass didn't get cut for a while - I went into the garden one day and there was a huuuuuge grass snake with the legs of a frog hanging out of its mouth sitting by the pond  That summer our frog population went down from about 30 to 5 I have always been frightened of snakes |
