A Sand Lizard, a Grass snake and a Smooth Snake at Crooksbury Common




At the moment the sand lizards are in their full breeding colours. They are brilliant to see.....although thats not easy to do. They manage to remain well hidden most of the time. Seriously endangered by habitat loss they are now our rarest reptile along with the smooth snake which feeds on them. A tragic case of the endagered eating the endangered....such is life. Enjoy them while you can, but blink and they are gone......forever....
