This is the time of year that reptile surveys can be undertaken. Currently we are doing six surveys across the county.
Most of these are small sites consisting of 50 felts, but we have just set-up the largest reptile survey we have ever done. Some 250 tiles across a massive site.
We had to use a sled to drag the tiles around, which was hard going but easier than carrying over 100kilos of bitumen felt.
All the background information leads us to believe that all four common species will be present, including common reptile, slow worm, adder and grass-snake.
