I did spot one thing really cool today, a newly hatched Smooth Snake (Coronella austriaca) Britain's rarest snake. This smooth snake was clearly a juvenile, only small, maybe 15cm or less, and moved at speed for cover when it realized it had been caught out in the open. Rookie mistake, but one that could cost dearly. As I said, they're very rare and their distribution is very limited, I think I've only ever seen them amongst the Studland dunes. Always cool to see our shyer wild friends.
