Couleuvre verte et jaune

Hi Val
 
This couple of one metre snakes were so intent on enjoying their passion in the sun yesterday evening that they didn’t even stop as I went up and down with the mower.
Their single-minded instinct to reproduce is presumably why you see so many squashed on the roads at this time of year.
For those of a nervous disposition, they generally disappear very quickly if you get close although they can bite quite hard if you try to grab them.
