| | | Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Hallo
Hello,
New here so be nice -
I am interested in all wildlife, British reptiles in particular - Vipera berus being of course the best!  (Hoping to go searching more this summer, though spring is almost gone.)
Found this little guy buzzing and repeatedly hitting the window, so took a pic and sent him on his way... 
(I'm not grabbing him, he happily sat there) Pyrrhosoma nymphula if I am right?
Anyway, looking forward to talking with you!

Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Hallo Mememe, and welcome to the site 
It looks like a Pyrrhosoma nymphula to me, but I'm no expert!

Well I had a German oral exam couple of days ago...I don't do languages hehe.
I live right near Richmond park, so will do a bit of 'herping' one day! I have heard reports of Natrix natrix and slow-worms, so should be something to see! |
