Adder (Female)

Hi,

One from the weekend on a day with Brett Lewis, certainly well worth it if you want images of Reptiles.

This Female Adder posed very nicely for a short while and obliged with the occasional tongue flick (you won't believe how difficult it is to catch it).

All the best

Phil

Very nice photo of the female phil, love the bronze-tones to the picture, detail in the eye is spot on and a great bonus the tongue flick, well done :wink:

Nice work Phil, it was good to see you at the weekend and glad you enjoyed the day. She really is a wonderful animal and you've captured her very well.

Kind regards,

Brett :biggrin: :toast: :wavey: :toast:

Great shot Phil. I know what you mean about capturing the tongue flick after shooting grass snakes last year.
