I would have had the screaming habdabs I think if I saw that, hope it was a grass snake.  Great pics D.  Mine would have been out of focus!!!

That is BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-UTIFAL!  I once found an adder in the garden, it was on the day on the big eclipse 8 or 9 years ago.  Amazingly stunning!

Apparently not, we looked it up on the web and they said they are getting rare.
Having said that we have friends with a large pond who have several that like to bask on the rocks beside it! (she makes her OH weed that bed! ;) ;D)

Wife just had heart failure looking at the pictures.

Was that in your garden???

She wants to know if it is within 100miles of Gatwick... ;D
