Snake in paradise :(

Snakes are not very common in Svångemåla but now and then we are either happy to see a Grass snake (natrix natrix) or less happy to spot a European adder (Vipera berus). A large sample of the latter enjoyed the sunshine at our gate the other day. It was very lazy and did not move even when we looked at it from just a couple of meters. They are poisonous but move normally away quickly when they feel the vibrations of someone coming.
