Another lovely day in the woods.
Judith litter picked while a team of five of us continued with the work of clearing saplings from Adel Moor.
Early on, Andrew found a lizard pictured here. Your correspondent was surprised to find a lizard at this time of year on not the warmest of mornings. This is the viviparous or common lizard – viviparous because it can give birth to live young rather than laying eggs. You can see that part of its tail is missing, which is not uncommon.
FOAW and other groups have made a great difference to the moor over the last five years and it is very gratifying to see lots of new heather springing up. Click on any of the pictures to get a better view.
We will be working on the moor again later in the year.
