Female Adder..
Hi Folks,

Sadly not been up to much recently but whilst I sit here installing the new OS on the computer and doing various back-ups I thought I'd share another from the ever increasing herpetofauna collection. I trust that you are all well.

Kind regards,

Brett

Canon 30D, Sigma 150mm, HH
1/160 @ f13, ISO 200

Very nice capture Brett. Some actually came out of hibernation last Feb in the snow up the moorlands.

Thanks folks..

Des, that's very interesting.. Indeed one of my male adders at a study site was out on the 7th February last year.. I'm out doing some work at one of my sites at the weekend, if the weather is good I'm hoping I might catch a glimpse..

A quick delve into your vast reptile library has produced yet another good Vipera berus, the aeneus backdrop compliments the image well, however I would consider the removal of the extraneous monocotyledonous green stems of the family Gramineae (Poaceae)

LOL! Grasses or otherwise.. that's where you find them :biggrin: So very funny and to think you spent 20 mins writing all that..! LOL!!

Has Tony swallowed a dictionary? LOL. Another great adder shot, Brett, and you could just get lucky on Sunday, apparently some chance of sun in our part of the world.

I've never seen one, but this image definitely makes me want to! Wildlife photography at its very best!

Wasn't sure about the grass at first but I looked at the image again and decided to tell myself to shut up. Cracker.

Cheers,
Chris
