I agree it is a Slow Worm! How did you manage to get that shot? In my experience they are anything but slow! I have only ever managed to get a glimpse of the tail! Well done for such a good shot!  |

Thanks for the confirmation NG and Phoebe!
It was basking in the sunshine on a pathway as we walked through Logan Botanical Gardens in Scotland about 5 years ago.......the image is a bit blurred as it took off as soon as it became aware of us.  |

We've got an open fronted porch on the house and it had found it's way in there. It was early in the morning and I assume it hadn't warmed up as it was really torpid and just let me take pictures. Like you say, normal view is just a flash of them disappearing into the undergrowth.
