yes indeed we do.

the best place i find to see the majority of species is to go to army ranges.

the sand and vegetation regularly found at army ranges makes a great place for them to live.

The nearest sure place I know of for Grass Snakes is Delamere forest. I've caught them there for years. We also have Adders, Common Lizards and Slow Worms near by. Plus Sand Lizards not far from Southport.

Re: Grass Snakes.

This thread got dug up again tonight, after nearly a year!
So I got to thinking.... I have a bit of spare time on my hands just now, maybe I'll go and have another look.... not to bring anything home, just to catch and photograph..... In fact, if the weather holds good I might go in the morning.

Re: Grass Snakes.

Sounds like a great idea, James. Dillon and I spotted one in the river last week. We were so excited! I will try to upload the video over the next couple of days.

Re: Grass Snakes.

We had rain.... cold, heavy, persistent 'Manchester' rain. Nice.
Maybe later in the week I'll get the chance.
