Snake in the Blue-bell of Danger!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness a Grass snake (Natrix natrix) taking a moment to savor the scents of the woodland air while perched on a tree stump amidst a sea of vibrant bluebells. With its tongue flicking out, this slithery serpent is tasting the very essence of nature itself. As spring blooms all around, our reptilian friend knows better than anyone that danger could be lurking nearby. Ever vigilant, it raises its head high and gracefully balances on the moss-covered stump. The stunning contrast between its sleek scales and the delicate flowers creates an enchanting scene straight out of a fairytale. Hertfordshire's woodlands provide the perfect backdrop for this mesmerizing encounter. As Europe's largest grass snake species, Natrix natrix commands attention with its striking appearance and elegant movements. Its presence among these beautiful bluebells reminds us that even in seemingly tranquil settings, wildlife always keeps one eye open for potential threats. Photographer Andy Sands has masterfully captured this magical moment from Nature Picture Library without any commercial intentions. Let his image transport you to an idyllic realm where snakes roam freely among blooming flora – reminding us that beauty can be found in unexpected places if we only take time to appreciate it!
