Andy - I did try from ground level but the head was obsured by twigs!

Will try again next time as the Adders will be a project for a wee while when the weather is good. Don't know about the fangs showing and ready to strike bit, might need a suit of armour for that one!

Regards Chris

Head obscured by twigs??? - You could have moved 'em

The rest of the 'money shot' might well have happened naturally after that...

lolol

It'll be Gaboon Vipers & Cotton Mouths next matey

All the best with the project Chris

Regards
