On the Wall 15

A slow worm peeking over a low wall found while gardening.

[JackieR]

oh how lucky you are to have these in the garden and what a fabulous shot you got of it

[Diana]

Is that a rainworm, a true trasure in the garden. Great shot of it.

[Bill]

We love finding these in our compost bin.

[Kathy]

A new critter for me. Heart attack city if I'd find one while gardening although I read that they are harless.

[Cazzi]

Not sure I'd be so calm initially as I haven't seen a real one before. Great that you quickly got a photo!

[Mags]

That's a worm? Wow!

[Ingrid]

It almost looks like a snake to me!

@ludwigsdiana @randystreat @marlboromaam I thought that they where very snake like but on a small scale but learnt today that they are legless lizards. https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/reptiles/slow-worm

[Susan Wakely]

@serendypyty it was rather sleep and enjoying the sunshine. Just learnt that they are leg less lizards.

[Peter Dulis]

Could catch a big fish with that one :)

[Carole Sandford]

So close I thought it was a snake at first!

One of your more unique subjects for a wall finding! He looks quite healthy

[Lisa Brown]

are you SURE it is a worm. It's a beautiful shot but he looks menacing ... like a snake

He's got a head - is he maybe a legless lizard? He's really interesting

[Susan Wakely]

@robz yes he is but we call them slow worms.

[Shutterbug]

I thought it was a snake. Nice spotting. Terrific capture.

[Kathy A]

Such a smooth worm, looks like a snake

[Kathryn M]

Hmm...never seen a slow worm in my garden...good that you caught it on camera!

[Dione Giorgio]

I thought it was a snake looks very long. Great closeup.

[Pam]

Wow. That worm looks like a snake! Great find, and shot!

[Lis Lapthorn]

Great shot.

[Laura]

Great shot.

[Casablanca]

I love the shininess of them

[FBailey]

Brilliant capture! Haven't seen one for absolutely ages...

[FBailey]

For you Get Pushed this week how do you feel about taking a shot of a stranger? If this is too off putting how about a back view of a stranger doing something interesting?

[JeannieC57]

This doesn't look like any worms here ... it looks very scaly, has a head and eyes ... so cool ! I am the reptile person at work and this animal would have fooled me into thinking it was a snake. Wow.

[Mary Siegle]

Yep It’s on the wall—fits your April 30 days theme. Neat! I had to do a Google search for “slow worm” as I’d never heard of them. At first glance I didn’t know it was a kind of lizard. I thought it was just a worm. But whenI read the comment by @jeanniec57 I had to back up and take a closer look.
