Visited one of the local spots on Anglesey and found 6 baby adders plus 1 stillborn around the same gorse bush! From my experience this seems much earlier than usual - guess that warm spell earlier in the year has speeded up development of the unborn snakes.

Nothing up by me yet in South Staffs. Watch those still borns. I had one in 2006 and popped the sac open... dead to the world. Took it home to take some decent pictures, which I did. Ten hours later, it was very much alive and kicking. Released back into the wide world the following week after it had eaten a pinky. Hope it gave it that extra energy to make up for it's poor start.
