European Adder (m)
European Adder / vipera berus. Suffolk. 27/02/19.
A stunning male Adder captured as he started to uncoil.
He'd been basking in unseasonably strong sunshine on top of an old, vegetated wood pile. To regulate body temperature, he would occasionally retreat into a shady hole within it for a while. This was just about to happen when I made the image.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
