Reptiles

It is more difficult to record the presence of reptiles with any degree of accuracy.

As in the rabbit population, there are areas where amphibians thrive – such as the overgrown canals at Tamar Lakes.

Common lizards maintain their numbers as they appear from warm hedge banks in summer - as do the slow-worms, a legless lizard and completely harmless.

Cats destroy many of these interesting creatures. In their dry and sandy habitat adders, smooth and grass snakes survive in average numbers.
