Adders in the Highlands

On Saturday I came across my first sighting of an adder the poisonous viper found in the Highlands more so when Spring turns to Summer.

Here you see it against the size of a foot so it was probably a fairly young one. In these parts they have been spotted as long as three feet.

This one was sun bathing at Ferrycroft, Lairg and our walking partner ushered me away from accidentally standing on it.

There was excitement in the group as none of us had seen an adder before. The weather has certainly changed. For how long?
