Little Grass Snake

My jack russell, Poppy, spotted this little grass snake whilst we were out for a lunchtime walk today. Grass snakes look very like adders in colour and form, but have a white collar just behind their head, which sets them apart. The snake stood right up to look at the dog and they both did a quick dance, but unfortunately I couldn't get the camera out fast enough to catch it on film!
