Great video. I've always been fascinated with reptiles. Finding them when out walking in the summer. Catching them just to study then let them go. Thanks for your video 👍
very interesting, always wondered what lizzards we had. ive come across slow worms, and i once caught a small lizzard in scotland. ive never come across a grass snake or an adder, I'd love to see one. good video👍
@@superspaniel100 The wilder the place, the better the chance to see one. In the south of England they bask very early in the morning on Gorse or Heather ,Up to around mid day in early spring,earlier as the year continues.Much the same in Scotland I would suppose,allowing for the longer(and earlier) daylight hours.
I didn't know there were Sand lizards in Cornwall. Great video! I am envious though because there are many videos where it all seems so easy to find reptiles and I'm looking on Dorset heathlands and still finding nothing lol
I saw a Sand Lizard in Devon at an abandoned railway holt in the late 70's. It seemed very brightly coloured and quite large. It is not something you can mistake for anything else really, it is still abandoned today and not often frequented, even by kids anymore and never has been since and i often wonder if they are still there given that there distribution is said to be so limited and they are so scarce now
Great vid thanks. I once caught a wee lizard whilst out fishing in the Inverness-shire area in the Scottish highlands. I picked it up by the tail and the tail fell off! I believe that is a defence mechanism is it not? Apparently their tails grow back again in time? Thanks
i lived in a north wiltshire village and i had a pipe burst. I went to the garden and opened the small metal hinged lid and reached down to get to the outside stop cock and a small lizard was in the bottom by the tap. It was about 2 inches long and bright yellow from head to tail. Any ideas? I never saw one again in that garden or anywhere else since. I assumed it was a sand lizard from the colour but it didnt look like any of the ones in the video.
Hello, you don't need a licence to handle slow worm or common lizards but be very careful as they are delicate and can shed tails. Sand lizards are a protected species and you get a licence for just wanting to handle them, I was a surveyor for them but never had the need to handle them.

Ned kelly where would you find reptiles in Scotland? Do you know a place you could find them in Edinburgh

Very interesting , I wasn't even aware we had so many reptiles over here
I moved to London from The North this year and saw my first lizard in England

Saw an all black one in Glen Nevis a few years ago.
