Grass Snake at last

[demicav]

I've just spent a week in Pwllheli where I go regularly to see Adders. As many of you know I've been desperate to see a Grass Snake but haven't had much luck. One day whilst amongst the heathland I spotted a Grass Snake catching some sun. I couldn't believe my eyes, I think I almost fainted in shock. This wasn't near any water apart from the sea down the cliffs. I only managed one shot as it was off quick as a light despite me being on my tip toes. I think it was getting ready to shed as it was dark in colour and its eyes looked glazed over. I managed to see it again two days later in the same area but it was gone in a flash. Boy can they move quick, much quicker than the Adders I'm used to,

Well done - excellent find and great shot - you obviously move faster than a Grass Snake HW

Thanks to both of you. I think I'm still in shock as I keep looking at the picture . Always great to see something unexpected.

Always a great thrill to see a first, especially when it's something you have been waiting a long time for, and even better when you manage to get a good photo like this one. Very nice indeed

Thanks Ollie. I was glad to have the one photo. It moved so fast though that my other half and children completely missed it.
