Female adder seen by volunteers 15th march 2011


This adder was seen north of the bench, across the heath.  It is likely to be a female.

Keith found and snapped it, while we were checking the three corrugated iron sheets along the border of the heath.  The sun was out, but I suspect that it was still rather dopey.   I think it felt that hiding its head was sufficient to stop us seeing it.

You can probably expand the photo by double clicking on it, but resolution may limited, and your computer and browser may not have the facilities.
