We saw a few Sand lizards about and what a difference a few weeks has made to their colours. I am disappointed not to have recognised the snakes tail disappearing into the heather though,I will never know if that was my first Smooth snake, a species yet to tick from the list.Whilst on the subject of ticks, I wonder if the ticks that these lizards carry are involved in any reptile disease transmission.We found a Z.viv outside Wareham with a few ticks.
