Some Vipera berus from the black forest, Germany

[Mario Schweiger]

At the end of April, together with some friends and colleguages, we visited Vipera berus in the northern Black forest.
Although the weather was not the best, we found about 30 adders.

The "thumbs" above (still from testing phase) are only 400 px wide.
Since yesterday they will be 600 pixels wide.
And still and further on: you may click them to see image in full size.

Nice finds! The adder is in my opinion the most beautiful snake, so i really enjoyed the variety, and that las shot is just awesome.
