Another adder.
This was a big 'un. Never seen one this big before, probably as big as they get...

I adder good look at these and enjoyed them. Adder nother one please! (Posted after a good lunch)

I did not spot this adder until it hissed at me. I was walking along a track concentrating on not stepping on anyone. This guy was aiming to exit to the right but could not get up the bank. So I backed off and observed him from a little further away and watched him leave to the left where there was cover.

Was in the field this morning fixing a fence a cow knocked down and thought I'd take some pictures of some of the wee beasties that make home there...

A white-tailed bee having a fumble in the clover...

And a red-tailed bee also having a session in the clover...

A white-legged damselfly (I think - please correct me if you know better)...

A yellow-shell moth...

A treble-bar moth...

And lots of baby frogs...
