Whilst sweeping up leaves in the garden I came across this very attractive slow worm (about 14 inches long), glinting in the sunshine. I swept over it twice before I realised that there was something there. It didn't seem to be any worse for wear so I grabbed the camera and took a few pics.
After a while it moved off slowly, looking for an escape then disappeared through a hole in the wall. Maybe it lives in or around the garden, I'll have to keep an eye out for it. (I believe they eat slugs and there are masses of them around, so yes please, do hang around and feel free to dine on slugs!!)
