Slow worms are often seen at the allotments in Pound Lane. Have you seen a slow worm elsewhere in Exmouth? Please report it here.
Slow worms are useful in gardens and allotments as they eat slugs - lots of them!
This one was keeping snug in a compost heap in early April.
This small pond was built just over a year ago. A newt moved in two days after the pond was filled with rainwater!
