I came across this Forest Monster when out Picture-Hunting in Weald Country Park -- it was 'dozing' -- I carefully fitted a 200mmf4 SMC Takumar to my trusty Pentax 6x7 Mk I loaded with Ilford Delta 100 and took it at 1/500 at f5.6 and backed away before it awoke !

That's a lesser spotted timber dragon. Consider yourself lucky to escape in one piece, they're vicious things.

Their bite is not venomous but the splinters they leave behind are to be seen to be believed.
