There are also adders but I have never seen one. <br />You are right Ann, I was thinking of my grandson when I was writing this post. Sadly have only been able to see him on FaceTime recently <br />Thanks, I'll try your tip with the slugs..Mike Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149847109691591945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666180154107067963.post-472917258712250872020-05-10T15:04:32.387+01:002020-05-10T15:04:32.387+01:00Well, I have never heard of a slow worm and so I h...Well, I have never heard of a slow worm and so I have learned something new. We have plenty of snakes here, and I don’t mind them as long as I know where they are. I prefer to call your slow worms legless lizards because the name alone is strange since all worms are slow! Slugs are destructive to our plants but they are easily removed by setting out a saucer of beer. In spite of it all, what a great post! I bet your grandson would enjoy this one a lot!Ann B.

It was the first one we had seen for about 40 years - but, since then, we have seen two more in our garden in two days, though not quite as big as the one we originally saw. We do get slugs unfortunately.<br /><br />I'm wondering what Boris will offer in his speech tonight.Mike Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149847109691591945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666180154107067963.post-18907753673287668962020-05-10T11:44:13.390+01:002020-05-10T11:44:13.390+01:00A very interesting wildlife walk, I've never s...A very interesting wildlife walk, I've never seen a Slow Worm. We had a slug & snail problem in our garden until some frogs found their way in several years ago. They've stayed, we saw one on our patio a couple of nights ago, and now slugs & snails are very rare in our garden. We seem to have plenty of empty snail shells and I think the Blackbirds are joining in too.<br />I have to read my comments through as "predictive text" often tries to help! This time it had changed snail to email, and it's just done it again! 😠David Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624125733408030479noreply@blogger.com
