I'm a new member who joined a little while ago. I spent my first couple of visits looking through the foto
Gallery, and where quite impressed with some of the picis, can't wait to add a few to the collection. I'm particularly interested in reptiles and amphibians and my goal for this spring/summer is to take at least one good pici of an adder. I live in West Dorset, so from what I've heard and read I stand a good chance of seeing one. On recent expeditions to the new forest and a couple of other locations near Christchurch I've seen a few common lizards and my first great crested newt, but no luck with the adders.
So, I'm looking for a few tips from the adder-experts or anyone else who might be able to help. I know the Dorset heathlands are meant to be good for adders but I'm not sure about
: best time of day; best wheather conditions; ideal habitat or best locations in Dorset to see adders. Thanks for your intrest and tips
