We were reseating some flagstones at a caravan site near the Humber Bridge and came across several of the small lizards? as well as many small black and brown toads. I could not see how they were able to get in or out from the flags, and wondered if they survived on a nearby ants nest that was also under the flags. The lizards? did not dart away but decided to play dead, even when moved. There also seemed to be patches of small white round eggs which we reseated. We left a path for them to return to the flags if they wanted. The circle in the picture is a 10p piece.

As a matter of interest , I would take it that they would have to go to water to breed. The nearest lake being approx 100m away.
