Adder

I had a brilliant few hours at Hatfield Moors today, and had some great birding highlightings (including four grebe species, both partridges, my first Little Ringed Plovers of the year and a few other bits and bobs), none of which managed to turn themselves into decent photos. However, literally a few minutes before getting into the car to go home we found this fella sneaking through the undergrowth. What an absolutely beautiful creature!
