Adder

By Assyrian
This adder was basking in the long grass, by Dunskey Castle. It's one of 5 I saw that day. I'd never seen an adder before then - guess they must be like buses!

Twizzle, how can you tell this is a female? Is it colout or size? I saw a very pale one that day, but really know nothing about them. Would be interested in your comments.

Cheers

This going to be the next excuse for getting to work late? First it was tanks, now it's adders!!

Amazing shot, well captured ! I have never seen a live Adder before either. To see 5 of them in one day must have been a great experience for you.

You must walk quietly - they usually slide away at speed when they hear you coming!
