The next day, July 1, we went back to the first location. Found some birds, 4 adders, and 1 legless lizard.
On the way there
Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus )
Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus)
Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella)
European Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola)
Some shots of the area
A small area a few square feet in size has produced different adders on numerous occasions. Today was no exception.
In situ
Posed
Which one of the following two do you all like better as far as composition goes? Comments welcome.
Another zigzag basking. We only got in situ shots.
My favorite kind of stick on the trail. Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis).
Cloacae at midbody?!
Happy herping, and thanks for looking.
