Im worried that if people find out where adders live ( most dont ) they will harm them or complain that they are dangerous to the public.

As I've said before I have been bitten but if someone knelt on me while I was snoozing in heather I would give them a nip. It is sad but what would be the penalty if you caught them destroying not only a wonderful creature but a protected one.....twenty pound fine or a caution. Keep plugging away. Better still ask the BBC to show them in a sympathetic way and not, as tends to happen, as brave man handles snake.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782540562394354075.post-17132543107429707952010-11-21T04:17:56.449-08:002010-11-21T04:17:56.449-08:00Thanks mate, I will look at the wallpaper, it is a...Thanks mate, I will look at the wallpaper, it is a bit distracting!Rob Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909011703506732320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782540562394354075.post-49290778011313818322010-11-21T04:15:56.674-08:002010-11-21T04:15:56.674-08:00Thanks Adrian!Thanks Adrian!Rob Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909011703506732320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782540562394354075.post-74576684038285912792010-11-19T03:43:56.986-08:002010-11-19T03:43:56.986-08:00A superb shot and a worthy winner in any competiti...A superb shot and a worthy winner in any competition.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782540562394354075.post-55877687598072727792010-11-17T09:31:44.773-08:002010-11-17T09:31:44.773-08:00Rob,I love your work and the images.

Have been bitten twice once as a child through grabbing one and once two years ago through inadvertently kneeling on it whilst setting up for a macro of heather. Neither time was it even anything but sore. The poor mites have all on quelling a frog. Not sure about the wallpaper but it's the content that matters. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />poor mites have all <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />on t<br />o <br />paralizeADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.com
