The slow worm (Anguis fragilis) is a reptile native to western Eurasia.
These legless lizards are also sometimes called common slowworms.
I disturbed this one whilst mowing my lawn.

I See Wild Animals
Do you ever see wild animals?
Do I ever see wild animals ? Yes, I do !
Living in a semi rural location means that on occasions, we are visited by various types of wildlife.
Focussing on our garden, we are regularly visited by foxes, hedgehogs, and squirrels.
Just today, maybe an hour ago, we were visited by this albino squirrel.
You would think that albino squirrels are rare, but we have had several visit us over the 30-plus years that we have lived here.
Other visitors to our garden, over and above the usual garden birds, we have had the occasional sparrow hawk and even a couple of pheasants.
Outside of our garden, I have seen badgers, foxes, and regularly see deer.
And last, but not least, here is a slow worm that came out from under our new deck last year.
