Reptiles in the UK

Hi everyone. I thought I'd share a couple of shots that I took last weekend of a Black Adder. I've only seen a few of these in the wild and I was thrilled to capture these shots of this beautiful snake. I'll post all my photos of wild British reptiles on this thread from now on.

Best regards,
Jason

Re: Reptiles in the UK

Thanks for your comments. Stephan you're the only person that has mentioned the 'Lord of the Rings' look about the eyes. That was my first thought when I started photographing Adders!

A found a couple of toads in the car park at work today so I thought I'd share them with you.


















Best regards,
Jason
