Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis)

I was mightily surprised to stumble across this large female Slow Worm in the garden this morning, as it's the first really good sighting I've had of one this summer, and she's due to hibernate very soon.

Watch her as she slithers away. Maybe until next March?

The Slow worm

''Anguis fragilis'', or slow worm, slow-worm or slowworm, is a limbless reptile native to Eurasia. It is also sometimes referred to as the blindworm or blind worm, though the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds considers this to be incorrect.
