There couldn’t be a better photo to demonstrate our love for snakes this #WorldSnakeDay! 🐍 Did you know the UK is home to three native species of snake? The grass snake, the adder and the very rare smooth snake. UK snakes can be found in a variety of habitats, from heathland to woodlands, and deserve to be celebrated! We're working across the UK to help our reptilian residents thrive. 💚 With our support, a group of volunteers in a Northamptonshire village has been working to protect local adders - thickening hedgerows to stimulate movement and encourage them to mate. The adders can also make themselves at home by slithering into one of the two log-pile hibernacula volunteers have built. These shelters are refuges for animals, offering them a safer place to rest. 🏠 Find out more about UK reptiles and how to spot them 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebmwwc9r

1moSo beautiful! ❤️ I've been fortunate to see a couple of adders over the years, basking in the sunshine on a road in rural Northumberland. They are incredibly shy.
