Perfect walking conditions on Symi at the moment - not too hot, no rain and still some wildflowers to be seen. 
Walkers have reported several tortoise sightings  and the herpetological population is also starting to wake up.

We get quite a few tortoises on the Somerset levels. This one is about 1 metre long. Handsome beast, isn't he? Reminds me of someone.

According to Matt, our friendly herpetologist, it is best to let sleeping snakes lie... |

Some time since I've seen a live tortoise; but some time since I've been on Symi in the spring. I have a tiny shell no more than 4cm long which I picked up in the area near George's farm as-was (beneath Stavrou tou Polemou) a couple of Septembers ago - one little baby which never made it to adulthood. As for the Hissers - whenever we've seen them they disappear pretty quickly. A case of mutual agreement. |

Adriana maybe spice up the treking expeditions with some photo competition,who can take the best Symi wildlife photo while on track,that way we can see it too |

Nice to hear about the tortoises, not so sure about the Hissing Sids - although the only snakes I've ever seen were fortunately very dead!  |
