Reptiles and Amphibians

A gallery of reptiles and amphibians from Devon and Cornwall reveals the secretive lives unfolding in the region’s damp woodlands, sun‑warmed heaths, and shaded ponds. Grass snakes move through the undergrowth like living bronze, common lizards bask on stone and gorse, and frogs and newts move quietly through still water and mossy margins. These images celebrate the subtle beauty of these often‑overlooked creatures, capturing moments shaped by moisture, sunlight, and the sheltered corners of the region's wild places.
