For example see under "General - Reporting" (go to the forum jump box at the bottom of the page), page 7 of 10, the thread "First reptile sighting of 2007" for January common lizards.

GLOUCESTER. a gardener on my postal round said he came across a "ball" of ANGUIS FRAGILIS (15 or so, assorted sizes- i quizzed him) in a cavity while rebuilding a drystone wall in STROUD during JANUARY. Does that count? Diversity.
