Grass Snakes at Stanton

4 Apr - The sun came out this afternoon and gave me the chance to call in at Stanton country park where Grass Snakes have been seen daily in the stone walls during the fine weather recently. I suspected that the snakes might emerge into the afternoon sun after a cloudy morning, and after detecting movement I had good views of a Grass Snake, as it slithered unobtrusively along and between the stones, curling up on itself at times, greenish/black markings and slender scaly body obvious along with the beady black eye and the forked tongue. My best ever views of this species.
