Great shot

Hi Jacek,
Great shot of this snake. We get these here in the UK but I very rarely see them.

Re: Great shot

Thanks for your comment, Mike. They usually slither away fast enough to avoid being photographed but this one did pose nicely for a couple of minutes. Only when I bent to also catch it with my smartphone did it escape into a hole in the ground.
Cheers,
Jacek
