TW- reptiles
Went reptile-hunting near Bath, found 4 species - Common Lizard, Adder, Grass Snake and Slow Worm.
Sadly, the first three are now becoming scarce in the local area, in part due to habitat destruction, but also from non-native predators, including cats and especially Pheasants, which are released in large numbers around the outskirts of Bath. Pheasants will eat reptiles - even Adders!

#Nature #Wildlife #Reptiles #Lizards #Snakes #WildlifePhotography #NaturePhotography@BathNature Oh wow, lovely pictures and lovely animals.
In Denmark, where I live, we have those 4 and one more - the sand lizard. I've been lucky enough to meet a few representatives of all five species, though probably more common viviparous lizards than all the rest combined. I've only met two adders in my entire life.
(of our native reptiles, I have a particular fondness for grass snakes, for reasons I can't quite explain.)

🥰 Wonderful photos. It's ashame that they are so endangered. Hoping that changes before it's too late. -
