Saw a large knot of about 4 adders the other day...
I have yet to see so many at once. Cool shots.Saw a large knot of about 4 adders the other day...
There were more than just those four. There were another two lying separate next to them.
Six in total.
That's the most I've seen in one go as well.
I was surprised to see any at all - although a sunny day the wind had a slight chill and was coming from the east, which was the unsheltered side where the adders were basking.
There were a few common lizards about as well, but they scarpered before I could take a picture.
That's a very bold slow worm.
Talk about sleeping with the enemy...

I heard this guy coming through the heather then spotted him through the cover and watched him come into the open.

This little lady was not easy to see as her camouflage and position worked well.

Deer diary - played hide and seek with a Roe buck today, apparently he though that if he couldn't see me I couldn't see him...
