Hmmm, series lack of reptile info on that site. I wonder who surveys the herps in that area.

 

[bilmo-p5]

Is that Bangor?
Changed a bit since I was last there.

 

[Robbi]

when were you last here Ian ?

 

[bilmo-p5]

Bringing the coal in '81. There was a bar at the end of the jetty; Marine Bar I think it was called - never shut.

 

[Shewie]

Nothing but Dominos, Pizza Hut and more take aways for as far as the eye can see.

To see any green I need to jump in the car for half an hour. Hoping that will all change soon though.

Here are pics of a loch I took a walk around just the other day. It's a 10 minute drive, but a fairly good representation of the surrounding countryside, a five minute walk to the south takes me onto Largo Bay.

And apart from the many geans, great patches of healthy blackthorn,

occasional apple and, what I think are pears,

in an ancient hedgerow, goosegogs the size of coconuts,

.. and, lest we forget...

Damsels by the million,

This guy was about a centimetre long,

Nesting grebes, various ducks, coots, etc, were too far off for me to photograph, but predictably...

and I've always thought it a great pity that these striking young chaps

turn into sh!tehawks!

about 5 minutes rather than 2:

damn - not working
