Grass Snake.
Sorry to anyone of a slightly nervous disposition who sees this. But here's a Grass Snake we saw swimming in a small pond at the edge of the woods, at Arger Fen, Suffolk Wildlife Trust Reserve, near Bures this last weekend. It was a lovely warm day and the sun was bright on this little pond. Just perfect for this Snake to warm itself up.
The grass snake (Natrix natrix), sometimes called the ringed snake or water snake, is a Eurasian non-venomous snake. It is often found near water and feeds almost exclusively on amphibians.
