Another photo of my favorite orchids. The longer I watch the more I see in these curious creatures.

Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends. Got to leave home for a week...

Just found out that some of images are going into the Visit East Lothian handbook.

Their website can be found here: www.visiteastlothian.org/home.asp

I have some images in their gallery but they have been heavily cropped so wasn't happy with these, but hopefully this will be resolved in the handbook.

This shot is a cropped version of the original as there was a foreground rock but sometimes I like the less cluttered approach...

Circaetus gallicus cruising for. Asps at 2100 meters altitude.(Simplon pass)

France; Lignac, Brenne 6/6/23.

Upturned snout. About 60cms long. I originally mistook this for a Viperine snake (Natrix maura) as it was in water. The markings didn't look right though, also the shape of the head. There are photos of similar poorly marked Asp Vipers on Flickr.
