Topic: Is it a Common Lizard?
Hello, I've just found your excellent forum and thought I would ask what you think this is. I was going to delete the photograph, which was meant to be of the Thrift, until I spotted a lizard posing in the background. I think it's a Common Lizard. If it works properly the thumbnail can be enlarged twice  edit  I don't understand what's happened, the image doesn't seem to have appeared. Can anybody tell me what has gone wrong? I've posted images on forums before without any problems. |

Topic: Snake Identification please
Hello, I've another picture to identify. In spite of looking at loads of pictures I'm not sure which snake this is.  It was a little over a foot long and quite slim.   |

I spotted this in a pony 'footprint' about 4 inches deep. Would you agree that it is a newly hatched dragonfly?  |

Oh wow, thanks. I saw it late afternoon on 16th June, on an area of heath just to the south side of Hatchet Pond in the New Forest. |

Thanks. It was difficult to photograph because of where it was, I was pretty sure it was the larval case but couldn't get any closer to see. I'm still a little bemused to have found it in a hole in the ground instead of on a waterside plant. |

No need to apologise, thank you for taking the time to make such a lengthy and careful reply. I appreciate it. Unfortunately I no longer have the original picture, it was lost along with a hard drive and backup CDs don't seem to work any more, which is a bit disheartening. I spotted it about here which ties in with the geographical areas you've mentioned. It was close to the edge of a large natural 'pond', where the mud had been churned up by local animals. A really odd place for an insect to emerge. |
