    Default Adder

    You don't see many of these creatures so I thought I would share one of only three I ever found, all -as this one - fresh from its winter sleep and motionless during the warming up process.

    Sorry the file exceeds the limit so i'm looking to solve the problem.

    If this does'nt work I give in and am going to bed!

    Missing a pic here Pete, are you having problems?

    If it is too big Pete and you haven't got an image re_sizer, download pixresizer does it very quickly.

    Well I guess that it isn't that big compared to the ones that come out of my camera prior to editing, but must have been near A3 size.

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Now is a good time to find out where to see the Adder. I think it is the Forestry Commission website which lists a good many places to see the creature. That said, I wouldn't know where to begin to actually find the snake but you say you like them Babs so why not give it a go, an interesting project for the spring and an excellent reward if you find one.

    Best Wishes

    Pete

    Andy. I'm probably a little slow on the uptake compared to most of the guys/galls on this website, it took me five seconds to grasp 'guess your adder will soon start to multiply'. You're much too sharp for me andy. By the way I love your 'smiley' which you have already added twice to your replies to my posts......would you believe it he's here again......
