The Adder is a species I've been trying to find for 3 years in the UK - I've returned to this one site many times during March/April in hope of getting a glimpse of one of these beautiful creatures. In today's video I go through everything I've learned during my research of the species and maybe, just maybe, this time I'm successful with my quest to find one.

Love the excitement, passion and knowledge you continue you to show! It’s wonderful that you not only inform and educate about photography but also about the importance of looking after the wildlife that has undoubtedly been here longer than we have! Keep up the good work Marc

Well done Mark , superb little video. I’ve only seen them in France

@marchumphreyphotography 3 месяца назад

Thanks Stephen, much appreciated 😊 ah yes, my mum's french, and told me about how they always had to carry antivenom around with them because the dogs would always get bitten!

@Daniel_Oberg 3 месяца назад

Good one! Working on a video about adders myself so thanks for tips and inspiration! 💚🐍

They have been out here on Cannock Chase since the third week of January which isn’t uncommon, I have been watching them for over 40 years and there seems to be more and more about. I wonder if the Covid lockdown helped with no dogs being walked at the key time of the year.

@marchumphreyphotography 3 месяца назад

Ah fantastic, well that's great to hear! I'll have to give Cannock Chase a visit then 😊 thanks for the comment

Hey Marc. Amazing that the adders are active this early. In my area (northern germany ) they are spawning in the beginning of april. congrats for finding the adder. Great video. Greets Stefan

@marchumphreyphotography 3 месяца назад

Hi Stefan, thanks for the comment 😊 apparently we're starting to get some adders in the south of the country that are coming out as early as January now!

The East Moors Partnership (RSPB, National Trust & others) monitors adder numbers and is doing what it can to conserve them, Dogs are indeed a problem in the area you were at, not just for adders, but ground nesting birds. Photographers are probably a bigger problem at other sites, where there is a procession of searchers on weekend mornings, collectively keeping the adders on constant alert. It is claimed that some people catch them & put them in the fridge so as to get really slow moving snakes next morning. For sure I came across a man last year with a shrimping net and a tupperware container trying to catch lizards to put in a tank at home (illegal). So - (1) adders are hugely more vulnerable than Dippers & (2) photographers are social creatures - if you or your clients are seen pointing a camera downwards on the moors in April you will soon have company.

Hi Steve, thank you very much for your informative comment. It's outrageous that people would be catching them, that's incredibly cruel. I purposefully haven't mentioned the area I was in, and hopefully there aren't too many visual clues there either, in an attempt to ensure people don't suddenly descend upon the area. I have been in touch with the Derbyshire Amphibian & Reptile Group to record my sightings, so hopefully the photos will be of some help. Unfortunately it seems there are always people that overstep the mark for that "perfect" shot - hopefully people will educate themselves. Thanks again for your comment.
