Grass Snake

Caroline spotted the cat cautiously playing with something in the garden yesterday, and when she went to investigate she found a grass snake. It looks like our wildlife friendly gardening policy is really paying off! She grabbed the camera and took some pictures. It looks like the snake is about 50cm long at most, so probably a young one. You can see the size compared to the walnut shell in the picture.
