John, I thought your photos were excellent. Your are fortunate to meet so many interesting people, and keep the pictures as a momento of that time.

Julia Power
She still looks the same x

I believe it's a sloworm. If it stationary then it is possibly a very sloworm; or dead.

Hi John i am listening to your show in Germany.i spend one month here and then one month in Gloucester and so on.I must say when my German friends hear your laugh i do get rather embarrassed.They just think all english people are as crazy as me.By the way the snake is a slow worm.All the best.Rick

I belive it is a legless (not drunk)lizard commonly known as a slow worm

Leanne
A slow worm! My sister seems to be able to house rather a few in her compost bin but lift the lid and they will slither towards the bottom.

Carol Jones
I believe this little creature is a legless lizard( have you been leaving beer cans out joke)on a serious note its commonly known as a slow worm.

Jeff Ross
It's a slow wormHarmless to humansbut a killer of slugs & snails

Jayne Bartlett
It looks like a slow worm (which isn't a snake, but a legless lizard). We have loads of them in our garden in Dursley - they like warm sheltered places like compost heaps. This one looks like a female - it has a darkish stripe down its back, and dark flanks.

Sian
It looks like a slow worm to me too!

Lovely pics. I couldn't be certain of this snake John, last time I saw a slow worm I was about 12 years old! Now 71. We had a grass snake in our pond a few years ago, and it ate one of my fish before I got it out and took it out to the fields! We also had a kingfisher come to our pond once & caught a fish!! Suffice it to say, that with one thing and another over the years, (herons & cats & goodness knows what else!), our fish population has gone from about 40 to NIL!! We have plenty of frogs though, a couple of toads & some newts, which we don't see much of, (how do they stay under water for so long??) We used to get hedehogs nesting under the shed, but haven't seen those for years.Allbest to you & yours, Shirlwhirl.
