Herptiles: NOTE: Phil and I heard a squeaking sound in the newly-cleared section of the mire. We followed the sound and eventually a small frog

bounded away from a clump of thick vegetation. Looking closer, we discovered a 2-foot-long Grass Snake Natrix natrix in the clump. Obviously, the frog had been caught by the snake, and we had, inadvertently, cost the reptile its meal! Needless to say, we were unable to photograph the Grass Snake - it wound itself deeper into the vegetation and just "disappeared". A second Grass Snake was seen near the heath pools, north of the mire.
