On 8th May I discovered a baby slow worm (neonate) in my back garden.
On doing a bit of reading it seems the adults should be mating about now with the young being born August to October.
If this little fella is no more than about 4 weeks old then he/she must have been conceived last December. Out of sync, I think.
One can only assume that due to the milder weather these creatures are becoming as confused as the rest of us as to the seasons.
Any similar sightings or comments.
