Nice shots FishiEE...
Those male adders almost look black and white when newly moulted! I've been in Shropshire this weekend at my brother's wedding; last night I needed to escape from the family so I drove to the Wem mosses in search of adders. Pleased to say there were plenty about... more than I remember in fact, which is a reverse of the fate of the Yorskhire adders I normally look for.
Anyway... though I saw plenty of adders, none were being obliging models, hiding in tussocks of grass. I've got plenty of adder shots from previous years, so I decided to stake out one of the lizards instead that was basking on top of a mossy stump.
