They are actually Legless Lizards.

They were very common in the place I've just moved from, but I believe they are as rare as rocking horse shit on a national scale..

I had a group of palmate newts in a sunken bathtub in the garden of my old flat. They came after the old fella next door filled his pond in as he was getting too old to look after it properly. They were there for a few years, had a few seasons breeding there, then they all vanished all of a sudden.

must be a decline in them i spose theres a woods i would like to go to again when i was there about 10 years ago there wer quite alot in the holes under blown and fallen down oaks and beach trees must have been a good habbitat among the water and old root systems

I feel quite lucky got loads of reptiles and amphibians living around me, find slow worms, adders, lizards, newts, frogs but for some reason no grass snakes? just the other day i was out with the airgun and a lizard climbed over my shoe
