Topic: 1st sighting
Hi to all Was out shooting rabbits to help with the local crop peservation 2 days ago,sitting quietly in my hide i became aware of a movement in the hedgerow, on closer inspection i was amazed and priveliged to see my first ever sighting of Natrix Natrix, as i have come to know them, with googles assistance. Facinated and captivated am now officially addicted, looking back and with internet help I now realise i was witnessing a mating with 2 males in attendance, the area i was in (which may be of interest to you) is on the south border of Northamptonshire with Leicestershire. I am definitely going to take a camera with me on my excursions in future. |

Topic: me again
I only posted one message on here,quite some time ago,anyway,I was out doing my rabbit control thing last weekend and to my shame i shot a coney not quite clean enough so rushing to depach it as quick and humanely as possible i retrieved it from the hedgerow, in the process i found a sloughed skin from our friend natrix natrix,complete from head to tail,measures 4ft 6ins in old money,my boy took it to school for show and tell,l may never see it again  but i did see it, facinating. |
