Went on a two-day field trip with Bero, Dule, Boris and Marc to catch some Adders (Vipera berus). Although the weather for Saturday wasn't too good (cloudy and windy, not too warm), we managed to catch a total of 21 Adders! Also some Slow Worms (Anguis fragilis), 1 Grass Snake (N. n. helvetica) and a lot of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries...
Gravid female A. fragilis:
berus:
One female with a stumpy tail (an old injury that healed well):
On Sunday the weather was better- sunnier, warmer and with less wind. Naturally, we expected to find even more than yesterday. We caught only 3 ... and the same male N. n. helvetica and another female.
Two individuals from yesterday, during release:
