Spotted this slow worm a couple of weeks ago on the track coming down from Sgurr Fhuar-thuill in Glen Strathfarrar - just down from waterfall adjacent to Beinn na Muice

I've also posted a short video on youtube (but sometimes it seems to stop half way through ?):



Further back on the same track - seems like good camouflage for this frog:
