We found this slow-worm at the allotment. It stayed in its hole for a long time, so we got some nice pictures of it, but then slithered away unhurriedly. We weren't at all sure what it was at first - Sean thought it was a Smooth Snake but they are very rare. The knocked off stump of its tail gave it away, though - slow-worms can shed part of their bodies when attacked!
