Adders at Avenue Park have not been seen despite repeated visits this spring. A visit to the site is planned for the 24th July to track down any basking female adders on the park.
Another viviparous lizard was spotted this year - the sites holds a very small population of viviparous lizards - I have only seen one other adult lizard near the road along side the hedgerow.
Slowworms have been spotted amongst the vegetation and on log piles. A limited survey using artifical cover objects will hopefully be undertaken this autumn to record numbers.
An early morning visit is planned on the 24th July and the results (photos etc) will be posted up here.
Anyone who would like to help do contact me on 07769 644354
Winter management works will be planned for November to February so do check back when you can come and help with hibernacula building and scrub clearance.
