Ever seen an Adder taking a dip? I hadn't until today! @BBCSpringwatch #springwatch
SWWARG retweeted
Adders are absolute stunners - what an animal. Very lucky to have these amazing snakes in the UK. #springwatch
Wonderful adder footage on @BBCSpringwatch - wonderful creatures - although we may be biased 😉 #springwatch
Just the one GCN seen this evening at a local pond. Lots of palmates, though, including one rescued from a drain.
Tadpoles in my pond haven't started growing their legs yet - anyone have any in later stages than this yet?
Wow, very interesting behaviour from a common lizard!
Bizarre Lizard escape behaviour by diving into stream & curling up under a stone on bottom @UKHerps is this common?
Beautiful picture of a group of common lizards basking together by @dave_b_james
Has anyone had any exciting reptile or amphibian encounters recently?

Fun fact! A Welsh name for dragonfly is gwas-y-neidr, or 'servant of the adder'!
@Chicken_7 @bugboybaker here is some info: gardenwildlifehealth.org/files/2013/06/…
@Chicken_7 @bugboybaker looks like amphibian herpes? It doesn't normally seem to have any adverse effects on them
