Hi all,
I am still looking!The weather has been against me of late:-(Will keep you all informed as to my progress.I have a mate who has knows of a small group of Adders near by, hopefully I will be able to see them and get a couple of photos soon.Thanks for all your advice!As for the 'making buttons' comment....the only animal that has ever made me feel like that was a Grizzly bear coming a bit to close in Alaska!Cheers,

If you do decide to search an area with long grass, make sure you look where you put your feet. On a known site for adders (was on a fungi foray at the time), my left foot came within inches of one! It wasnt really bothered though so I took a few steps back, got my camera out to which it promptly disappeared in to cover!

Davey,
You'll find that the weather is warm enough for them, when it gets above 14-15 degrees C, they are more likely to scoot into cover. Talking about Adders, there's a site I have to check out where I saw what I think was one(saw the tail-end disappear in to cover). Hopefully the weather will be ok for me Friday morning....
