We bumped into Mike Bailey and spent a pleasant 15 minutes or so chatting. Mike kindly took me to the spot where he'd happened upon this handsome Adder, a real thrill for me because I haven't seen one for ages.
Along the track from the railway crossing down to the scrape I heard 9 or 10 singing Sedge Warblers.
I took several photographs, mostly duff, but this one turned out OK.
