Neonate adder.

A couple of heavily cropped shots of tiny newborn adders. The size of a 2 pence coin when coiled up and normally incredibly well hidden in the vegetation. Had a really good count of 22 on one day at 2 sites and have seen others in different spots on other days, which is great as they face so many threats. This one was basking under flowering Heather and is covered in pollen... a miracle that you can actually make it out with my limited camera equipment and skills..!

Photographed in situ and left undisturbed and as found.
