GLOW WORM RECORDS
I am pleased to report a sighting of a single
female glow worm glowing at Friday Wood,
Colchester, on 28th June, 1985 sent in by R. D.
Ruffell, who lives in Colchester.
Please inform me of any other sightings in the
county so that we can build up some information
on their present distribution.

AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES RECORDS 1987/88
I would like to thank all who have sent in
records for these animals during the past
year. Amphibian records are fairly strong,
but reptiles seem to be declining, so I am
especially keen to hear about these. The
Common Lizard has suffered from road verge
cutting in many places, and records come in
from gardens, railway banks, and sea walls, as
well as from the various county Nature
Reserves. Please look out for these creatures
this summer and drop me a note.
