First encounter of the close kind

I never had seen a viper when I encountered this animal on a walk in the Lille Vildmose nature park (close to where I took this shot www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/53304745994/in/datepo...).

 

It was laying on a wooden walkway, and to get a decent picture, because of the light I had to walk around it.

 

It gave me the time to do it, and I got a few decent pictures before it crept back into the bushes, and although it looks rather big, it in fact was a young animal ca 20-30 cm. I got that close that I hardly could use my 600 mm.
