Currently with Sami spending a week in Cornwall with fellow PSLer Danny Cooper. On the way down we dropped into Bournemouth and enjoyed stunning views with a very inquisitive WESTERN GREEN LIZARD Lacerta bilineata amongst masses of Wall Lizards. Sam spotted it first and during the 20mins we were with it I reckon the best part of 20 people came and saw it too! Next stop was a site for the sole remaining native reptile that I still needed. After a pleasantly easy hour or so I found myself gawping at my first ever SMOOTH SNAKE Coronella austriaca!!!! I'm not going to go into details of where the Smooth Snake site is, or who the person was that showed it to us - not on a public website such as this. Sorry! But wow, two new reptiles on the same day, I don't think I've ever done that in Britain before :)

Back out there again tomorrow, so stay tuned for more comprehensive write ups...
