Adders

England’s most lethal animal is the Adder.  They inhabit Hatfield Moors where I walk with a group every other week. They are very shy and will disappear if they hear noise or feel vibrations from walking. They come out to sun, but if it gets too hot disappear.  It is tricky to catch them.  You need a morning that is dry, cool, with sun just coming out. It has taken 2 ½ years, but I’ve finally seen three of them. I didn’t have my camera the day we saw a large male, but today I got pictures of two females.  The Males are a darker almost black/ blue color with the same tan marking.
