In the last few month I spend not much time the adders here in the black forest so I decide today to go looking whats going on there.

I was arriving at 9.45 am and found the first 3 adders in 20 min, 2 gravid females and in my opinion one male. One hour later I found another gravid female. After I made a lot of situ shoots of the animals I went to a Terrain maybe 100m near my main habitat for adders to look if I find there also something, after last year I found there 2 adult adders.

I walk through this habitat first time - nothing. So I walk back to the track and HELL YEAH - I believe I saw the brightest silverish looking male I ever saw but he was to fast for me and i missed him and the badest thing...without a photo :(

All in all it was a very fine day and I know...I´ve a horrible english sorry about that :lol:

Here some shoots, all in situ.
