Couleuvre helvétique - Western Grass Snake
Female juvenile Grass Snake (Natrix helvetica). Our largest snake, the grass snake, is particularly fond of wetland habitats, but can also be found in dry grasslands and in gardens, especially those with a pond nearby.
During the summer, grass snake can be spotted basking in the sun near their favourite ponds or swimming in the water.
They hunt amphibians, fish, small mammals and birds. Females lay 10 to 40 eggs in rotting vegetation, such as compost heaps, incubating them until they hatch in early Autumn. Like all reptiles, grass snake hibernate, usually from October to April.
The British population of grass snake belongs to the distinct subspecies Natrix natrix helvetica, but new research published in August 2017 proposed that it should be elevated to full species status, with the name barred grass snake, Natrix helvetica.

Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), more commonly known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy aristocrats.
Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films.
Warhol coined the expression "15 minutes of fame."

Something a little different today, The Barred Grass Snake and this one was about 2 foot long, fascinating to watch these creatures swim and go about their business, there were lots of Newts being flushed from the weed by this fella and one even leapt clean out of the water to escape, at one point it was so close to me that I couldn't get camera focus and thought it was going to leave the water and slither right across my feet! :)

The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
