Reckon you got it in one Danny. Big Smile [:D]

They are only just out and about to any extent, not been enough sun for them and they are still a bit slow. Breeding should start in the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes open for that.

Having just seen another couleuvre sunning itself - I have to say I have seen a lot more already this year than previous years - wondered if it was just me they have come to visit - or are there more around?

It's not dark yet ......but it's getting there.

We won't know the answer to that for several years, but to help know the answer you could all help by sending me your definite identifications with the location, name of village or hamlet and the date and I will pass them on to the relevant recording authority for that region. Same for newts, (loads more species as well but I won't over burden you).

Hi Chris, have a photo but can't attach it here, how do we upload it. Also the snakes eye is opaque/milky in colour, is this likely to be the outside of his eyelid or could he be blind? We have obsevred him at many different times and when he moves of but it never changes?
