Studying Britain’s native snake species for 30 years & the biology of specific study populations for the past 10. Putting it all in a book. Not often on ‘X’.
@TonyJuniper And jacket, shirt (often tie) for men was the norm. Even the guy sweeping is wearing a suit. So much more pride in women and men, in their community and life than there is today.
@JaneFallon Please forgive my randomness but as a regular visitor, have you ever observed any Grass Snakes at Hampstead Heath? I may add, the reptilian kind, nothing of the sorts to do with the location’s infamous reputation 😁
@cb_doge As the biggest threat which faces the planet today is overpopulation, surely other countries should be following suit and that Italy be applauded.
@p_aulwhite So so interesting, Paul. I wonder what the hell it is? I can see how it possibly can be canid but for me, the first thing that comes to mind is still felid. What would you say the width across is? Lynx can be up to around 10cm across.
@froglifers Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis). Male. The female has dark flanks and often a dark vertebral line running down the length of the body. The male typically has a uniform body with no dark lateral sides 😁
Five populations of Adders in Suffolk are 5 of 18 populations in total which I have been studying for the past 10 years. Spread across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex & Dorset, studies focus upon the biology, movement and conservation of individuals within these populations. Love them 🥰
One of my study population in Suffolk. After 10 years studying them they are still holding out. Each and everyone a character. Here, some younger boys (Vb18, Vb23) out basking having just emerged from the winter.
