An early adder

[slippery42]

By early I mean this morning as the adders at my study sites have been active since early February.

Today I was out by 7am and home by mid day.

Lots of video completed and a few stills.

The wind was an nightmare and using the D7100, 300mm 2.8 and 2x convertor with extension tubes was hardly forgiving.

Pick of the shots

Lovely shot and great find but I think you know where to look

Yep! Although this morning was exceptional!

They don't make a lens long enough for me to get near one of these boys. Great image, Graeme.

Haha some people do seem to worry.

Haha some people do seem to worry.

It all stems from being hissed at by a rather angry Blunt Nosed Viper in Northern Cyprus a few years ago, Graeme.

I didn't know you were on here, bud! Lovely shot.

Lovely shot, I've not seen any snakes in the wild near me... or maybe I just didn't see them!!
