As wildlife author and environmental educator I get to visit many habitats from coastline to countryside. However, our own gardens and surrounding urban habitats provide surprising opportunities for wildlife watching both large and small. You can also make small changes to your garden to attract even more wildlife. This weblog is a record of my observation which I hope you will enjoy and also encourage you to take a closer look at your own local patch, I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.
Slowworm courtship in our garden today, observed the male grab the females head in his jaws as part of courtship.
The male can be a silvery grey as in the one I saw today. We see very young and juvenile slowworms in our garden as well as adults and have assumed mating took place in our garden, but the first time I have caught them in the act.
