Dorset sand lizards still in full green (like this male) last Friday - 1st June. Also many females yet to lay, and I saw a couple of pairs of sandies too (photo also attached, I hope - look for the cryptic male's eye !) Maybe the arctic May weather has slowed things down ? Cheers, Will

Posted: 05 Jun 2007 Will, I was over on Purbeck on Saturday and saw a female that hadn't laid her eggs yet, but no definite males, saw lots of tales disappear in to cover though! Nice pics, what sort of time of day did you take them? I've been looking at the predicted temperatures for the next few days and it looks like I may have to get out of bed quite early before the temperature starts to rise.

Posted: 05 Jun 2007 Hi Mark It was late afternoon - round about 5-6pm; last friday was ideal for lizard watching - about 17-19 deg and an easterly breeze - I reckon it's warming up again now, so it may well get harder to see them Cheers Will |

Posted: 05 Jun 2007 Thats what I'm thinking, either go early or later after the heat of the day. Later this week, the temperatures are predicted to get to at least 25 deg C, so alarm clock at the ready.... Cheers, Mark Hampshire Amphibian and Reptile Group. |
