Day 42: Field Bindweed

This might be better title, "the one that got away". I've been trying to get a photograph of common lizard for a while now.  I've seen loads but not "got one" yet.  So camera at the ready I checked out the four little squares of corrugated iron I put out a few years ago. Slow worms galore lots and lots of baby ones under the first three tins.  Last tin I looked under -bingo, even better than a lizard a grass snake. I've seen them around a couple of times but never under the tins.  Sadly he was faster than my camera - which was still trying to focus and he was gone :(

The field bindweed is pretty common in the cemetery. This one seemed to be strangling the life out of some umbellifer.

All you need to know about them.
