Saw a small grass snake, about 6 to 8 inches long, alongside the path in G5. Coiled and hid in grass when we approached. Photos attached, (foot to show size) it was quite small.

Found the cows at around 11.30 this morning - missed Jack. All 3 grazing in I12 looking fit and healthy. Teasles udder still looked red and the neck wound had flies around - not apparently bothering her. Checked trough- full and working OK.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteNice job spotting such a small snake when it's lurking like that. It is in fact an Adder though not a Grass snake - the zig-zag pattern along the length of the body is main identifying feature. Nice find.

Lucky I didn't try to pick it up!! It was moving accross the dusty path heading for greenery and I was tempted to help. Hope it made it OK.
