On Sunday 16^th November, KRAG members were on the Greensands Ridge near Westerham figuring out site management and next year’s monitoring programme. On checking tin and felt refuges they were surprised to find a grass snake, a slow worm and two adult great crested newts; each under a separate refuge.

The weather was not too bad, 12ºC with a mixture of intermittent sun and light rain. None of these reptiles or amphibians was torpid and on disturbance all moved to conceal themselves.
