Dragons
in your Garden Introducing amphibians and reptiles
There are some 'dragons' that you are more likely to see in your garden than others. Common frogs, common toads and smooth newts may all inhabit a garden pond, but it's highly unlikely you'd see a natterjack toad, for instance. Similarly, grass snakes and slow-worms can be regular visitors but adders will rarely stray into gardens.
You can find out more about any of these species by following the links:
