We love the grass snakes in/around our pond, but listening to a #frog being predated by a #GrassSnake is always a gruesome experience.
However, without #predation there are no #snakes. Unusual is the late time of the day (about 6 pm) and the overcast sky. Usually the snakes hunt in full sun.

I moved to England 30yrs ago. Yesterday, I saw my first wild snake! Only a Grass Snake, but what a beautiful creature.
It was a juvenile, no longer than 25cms and not even as thick as my little finger.
I found it hiding under a tarp in my garden. Unfortunately, I suspect it has been displaced by nearby greenfield development. However, it is welcome in my little bit of green space.
