Male Adder (Vipera berus)

Labels:
I have decided to squeeze in as much Adder hunting time as I can spare over the coming few days. They'll soon be hibernating far out of view and, frankly, I will miss them. Today, early in the evening, with the sun low in the sky, there were few to be seen – only this male and a large female that disappeared before I even had time to raise my camera.

    Beautiful! I've heard it said that each one has individual markings so you can learn to recognize them.
