We keep the grass long on the edge of this raised border because it’s always full of juvenile slow worms. In sun all day & well insulated over winter. Possibly the last I’ll see in #2024

Late autumn sunshine. Still a few garden dragons knocking about.

At least 16 bottle nose dolphins past Flamborough Bird Observatory North Landing this morning. 20 minutes of excellent cliff top viewing.

Some 2024 baby slow worms out in the lawn today. Grass is only about 4 long but the neonates are earthworm sized. Fingernail for scale. Pretty much everything else in the garden is a predator to them for the next 3-4 years.

It’s probably time to give another platform a go. bluesky bsky.app/profile/teucht…
