On the embankment beside the Afon Leri yesterday Emma and I came across a snake. It was only a grass snake, and it slithered away quickly enough once it had seen us, but it was still a little startling to see one in the wild especially since I'd almost trodden on it. It's easy to forget the variety of wildlife we have in this country.
Ten minutes spent online over lunch means I now stand a good chance of distinguishing the different reptiles native to the UK. Figuring out the birds might take a little longer though.
