Snakes in the Forest of Dean: My Wildlife on TV!

My Wildlife on TV!

Great to see they featured the female adder I found for BBC Autumnwatch on last night's programme.
Also the hornets and wild boar, although all credit goes to them for actually finding the wild boars. I just put them in the right location.

A massive thank you to all three presenters for standing up for the wild boars in the UK, a creature very close to my heart.

Rob......I was already a convert to your cause. If Michaela is then I'll pop down and spend a happy night in the Forest of Dean.
I used to like Bill Oddy. Michaela is better!

Admire Our Snakes

Snakes have been persecuted since man first stepped foot on this planet. They are severely misunderstood and this is one reason why I have chosen to look after them in my area.
When I am up close with our snakes, I see their true beauty and can't imagine why anyone would want to harm them.
I understand that certain people have phobias, but there are also a lot of people that believe snakes are pests and should be destroyed. This is wrong as all snakes in the UK will avoid conflict at all costs and the adder will only strike at a human in self defence.

I hope my photographs and stories of my encounters will help everyone see this magnificent creature in the way it is meant to be seen.
Essential and beautiful.
