Reptile Hunting in Wareham Forest

Wareham Forest had probably warmed up too much by midday when I arrived hoping to see Sand Lizard. Heard several 'probables' rustling throught the grass, and saw some people who had seen several earlier, but no sightings for me unfortunately. However, my first Smooth Snake (above) was a great surprise and a huge bonus - quite a pale specimin, and a beautiful one. Common Lizard, several Dartford Warblers and Tree Pipits also seen.
