It was great to see male Adders out basking in some of their traditional early season sites last week. It is vital that the males bask out in suitable weather conditions to build up sperm for the mating season ahead.
These images were taken with a telephoto lens to avoid disturbing the animals during this very important period of their breeding cycle. You can report any reptile and amphibian sightings of your own to www.recordpool.org.uk đ
