LOL Sorry its actually an Adder

Was taken today handheld with the 100-400 on the 20D, is in the wild not a zoo ! it was also teeny ! its head was the size of my thumb !

Was sunning itself, this is a crop of the original picture, and i apologise for all the guff around it, but it was difficult to get a decent angle on it without disturbing it too much !

Hope you enjoy

You snake in the grass Ian
Great spot.
Your lucky it didn't bite you, you could have been off
for another couple of weeks.

The venom is full strength from the start, a bite from junior could still be rather unpleasant.

Nice pics though, well spotted. :thumb:

Groan at the thread title Trust you!!!

Really makes a big difference that you took the shot in the wild so to speak, add a whole different set of problems and risks

Good shot considering the difficulty of the task in hand! I've never even seen one in the wild, despite many years of walking on moors and such-like.

I'll be interested to see the results if you manage to track down a kite or an osprey too.

It made a difference seeing it in the wild ! Im intending to get a lot more of the wild variety this year and not so many from Zoos wildlife parks etc !

Great capture - Watch where you tread this time of year as they come out to sun themselves and paths are prime sites!
