On a cold December 19th, London’s reptiles, amphibians and fish seem invisible, yet they’re still very much present—and vulnerable. Adders curl beneath moss and heather along southern heaths, while grass snakes tuck into warm compost heaps near the Wey–Thames confluence. Slow worms vanish into soft, rotten wood around Leatherhead and Wood Green, and toads choose dry wall holes or muddy ditches from Weybridge to Epping Forest. Frogs hide in mossy crevices, and three newt species quietly overwinter in log piles and under stones across Lea, Colne and Roding valleys. Beneath the dark Thames surface, eels, flounders, codling, bass and more shift through estuary and river, moving with the season. Discover where they lie low—and how not to disturb them. Return on 19-Dec for the full story!
