The Adder.

[Bevb]

On a walk in the forest on my holiday this weekend, we came across this guy, well my dog did! the dogs were resting on a path while my husband was looking in the river for fish, and i noticed one of the dogs moving his head in a very jerky movement, then i noticed the snake inches from the dogs face, its head risen, and i think seconds away from striking, the dog was obviously in its pathway, fortunately i called the dog away risking it not biting, but i couldnt resist a few shots before it went on its way.
