Wildlife on your plots
Local wildlife enthusiast Sabina George was feeling disappointed on 23 July after her unfruitful search for insects at Odibourne Allotments. Her spirits were lifted by being invited to Plot 68B to view a family of Slow Worms inhabiting the compost. The slow worm is a burrowing lizard, but without legs. Unlike a snake, it has eyelids, ear holes and can blink and drop its tail to escape predators. It gives birth to live young and its main food source slugs and beetles so useful in gardens and Allotments. This slow worm is quite young. In the UK the Slow Worm’s worst predator is the domestic cat.
