good spotting.
i was out playing golf one day and while searching for a stray ball i couldnt believe what i was seeing.it took a while to work it out but it was a big fat ass toad stuck in the mouth of a grass snake.by the time my friend had run to get his mobile to take a photo it released and slithered back into the brambles.was gutted not to have a camera handy
they dont hang around once they see you so you done well not only to capture it be also get a nice bokeh.

We have Grass snakes in our garden and they have eaten most of the local frog population. Our pond used to be teeming with frogs and now there are none left!

Great shot of the Adder; I've never seen one in the wild.

Don't think I'd want to be that close to one! As I saw on TV a few days back they can be nasty little devils!
