Adders, Common Lizards, and a Butterfly.

Its no secret I like Reptiles as well as Birds, so I thought it was time to see if I could get an early sighting of an Adder for 2011. I went to my usual location on the 25th of Feb, and I actually sighted 3 Adders on that day. I have been back to that area several times since, and not only sighted more Adders, but also 3 Common Lizards, and on the 7th of March I spotted a Comma Butterfly.

I would just like to point out, that these Reptiles are never disturbed by me, and all photographs are taken in situ.

Some photos then. As usual click on image to enlarge. Cheers.

25th of Feb. and 3 Adders were sighted(all males).




27th of Feb. and possibly 2 of the same Adders basking together.



The 7th of March, and after waiting for some time, Common Lizards showed up.




Also, before I sighted the Lizards, I did see my first Comma for 2011.

    Hi Warren, thanks mate. I did go on the search for the Reptiles, and the Butterfly was an added bonus.
