Go lizard spotting!!
Not sure if this link will work http://www.surrey-arg.org.uk/SARG/21000-MembersArea/HerpSites.asp
Anyway, walk on the boardwalk at Thursley common on a sunny day and look for lizards basking at the edges of the boards.
From Guildford, head south along the A3 for about six miles. Turn off at Milford junction and cross back over the A3 and take the B3001 towards Elstead. In about two miles you will reach the village of Elstead, which has many pubs which serve lunch. At the village green, turn left along Stacey’s Farm Road, which changes its name to Thursley Road. Keep on this road until there are no houses to your left. The road will become very straight, and look for a car park in the woods on your left. Pull into here, there will be a small lake next to the car park called ‘The Moat’.
Leave the car park, walking away from the road. As you walk along the sandy path, scan the edges of the heather for lizards and snakes. When you get to a damp area with a small bridge, look for Grass snakes in the pools and at the edges of undergrowth. When you get to a treeline on your right, turn right aling a raised path with many tree roots. Look in the pools on either side for Grass snakes. The path turns into a board-walk, follow this to a 90° right turn. Turn right, scanning the boards ahead at the edges for lizards basking. Look about ten feet ahead of where you are. Follow this path all the way back to the car park, scanning the undergrowth as you walk. This short walk should take around 40 minutes, with many other, longer walks available.
Needless to say – DON’T TOUCH THE REPTILES!!! Adder bites are really not very pleasant and grass snakes will poo on you, leaving a stink that lingers for days 😯
