Grass Snake

I have never had the chance to photograph Grass Snake before yesterday. Snakes in the UK are probably more common than you may think but they are usually secretive and difficult to see. Grass Snakes are non venomous and will not bite, or rarely. They are variable in colour and you could confuse it with the poisonous adder which will bite. My advice would be to always leave well alone, thats best for the snakes as well. A tiny bit of research shows me that only 14 deaths from adders has occurred in the last 100 years even though there are up to 100 adder bites a year. But back to yesterdays snake, it was really great to see a truly wild snake and something that I thoroughly enjoyed.
