Oooh, lovely! Yes, looks like a grass snake. I was scrolling down the photo from the top, and the first thing I saw was the snail just above it. I thought, 'woooo hoooo, a snail in your compost bin?! Like, wow!'  :D

Definitely a grass snake. The yellow collar gives it away every time.

Grass snake. Adders are shyer, and don't seem to turn up in gardens.
