Adder / June 2015

First class photography Bill.

Thanks Jeff, pleased with your kind comments. have to be careful though ;))...Cheers, Bill.

An excellent image Bill, thank you for posting to Fur, Fin and Feather.

It's a grand group Jeff, yet to have a good look though, over the moon with your kind comments. All the best, Bill.

I guess that with your 500mm lens you were not in striking range ~ A wonderful shot ~ Well done

Quite right Nick, although i have taken some with a 18mm-105mm lens, and once had a strike at the lens, did have some protective gloves on though ;)) thank you for liking this photo. Kind regards, Bill.

I don't know who was more surprised, you or the adder!
I seem to encounter these wonderful creatures a lot (even to the extent of finding myself swimming underwater in a mountain lake with a whole family of them once in the South of France) but never with photo opportunity available!
A very fine shot!
Best wishes,
Andy

Thank you Andy, hit and miss to find them though!...Regards, Bill.

Certainly fantastic detail Bill .. well taken indeed

Best wishes .... Steve

Thanks Steve, do like the challenge but have to be careful though!...All the best, Bill.
