Adder

Optimistically he/she was attempting to absorb some late March sunshine. This snake was very sluggish, but with a bolt-hole close at hand.

 

The sight of a walking companion promptly tucking their trouser legs into their socks was more than amusing. I'm just as bad, as no way was I going to approach it with the camera.

 

If you meet one just be nice to it. adders are actually very reluctant to strike, and as for trouser legs, in the uk, it's not adders one should worry about but swifts, as they have an instinct to climb. But that as they say is another story ...
