Came across this lovely pair of Adders, whilst out looking for butterflies recently.
They were basking on a log pile together, but despite me being very careful/slow/quiet with my movements, the female did not hang around. She did return to bask, within a short space of time.
Both these snakes have some growing to do, before they reach full adult size. Nice to shoot some images of Adders, because it had been some time since i last had the opportunity.
Note - Always show caution, when photographing wild venomous snakes. Ive been observing Adders in the wild, for a decade now, so i have some experience with their behaviour/movements. I never handle Adders, i photograph them, just as i find them.
None of these images have been cropped. Conditions were overcast/cloudy/cool. No flash used. Cheers Paul.
Close up of the male.
