I went went back to my snake sight despite the dull cold weather,and found 5 grass snakes out,and 2 Adders,so worth the effort.I took my 105mm macro lens this time,as you can get very close to the Grass snakes if you sit quietly and wait,this one was about 18inches away from me........

105mm macro

Thats nice ! Good position as opposed to a coiled job too.!
Adders out but no Grass snakes in my ponds yet.

Great stuff, I agree its differnet from the usual coiled up pictures, which adds to it!

Stewart,

Nice shot. You must have waited a while to get so close.
