Another image from earlier this year when I visited a Nature Reserve nr. Birmingham. The wardens gave me a tip as to where the most likely spot for the encounter was and they didn't disappoint. She was taking full advantage of some compost heaps created by the park through general maintenance.. I spent just one day at the reserve and came away quite happy and was able to send some images back to them to use in interpretation material.

Kind regards,

Brett

A lovely capture, Brett, with your 'trademark' tongue flick. The collar at the back of the neck looks very pale, but as the other colours are correct I guess she was just a pale individual.

Superb. The tongue flick really brings it to life.

Hi Brett,

Superb image :toast: :toast: :toast:

Although I don't get on with Snakes not a phobia but just a fear, but this does stop me enjoying cracking images like yours :wink:

Well done.
