    Coney Meadow and Adjoining Areas

    Hi Dave, My understanding is that it's just a reclassification and there are not two species in the UK. The UK population (Natrix natrix helvetica) now proposed as Natrix helvetica. Usual sloppy reporting by the mainstream media. Brian ________________ Worcester Birding
