Grass Snakes basking in the sunshine at work!

Rich Wildlife on my doorstep!
Several spectacular views of grass snakes at work today. I went back this evening with my camera and of course none were on show to photograph! Although I did see a very large grass snake slithering amongst a huge pile of concrete – I know it was big, because it took a good few seconds before I saw the tail! I will try again over the weekend for photos.

Sandwasps were burying in a sandy bank and Digger Wasps were busy excavating tunnels in the same place. Cinnabar caterpillars adorned the ragwort and hoverflies and honey bees were buzzing around.
