Loads of grass snakes (well 7 or 8) in one bracken patch - must be the hibernaculum I suppose. No adders or smooth snakes seen, but 1 lone ranger sand lizard hiding in the bracken near to the grass snakes. Are adders becoming rare at Studland or am I just not very good at finding them probably a bit of both. A mini mating ball of 2 ? Below, sand lizard, my first of the year! Hope the fine weather continues! Dave
