I nearly stood on this aesculapian this afternoon - they're very relaxed snakes and not venemous!
Sadly I found the aesculapian dead in the garden this afternoon, very close to where I first saw it. Althouh it had some injuries, I suspect it may have starved or be starving, as it was very thin, and pretty sluggish.
Mother Nature is cruel at times.

100% agree.

There seem to be more wasps about this year? I got stung 3 times yesterday- one sting me, I whacked it and it disappeared... I went in to put some cream on it and felt something in my top. He had me another 2 times before I got it out!
I got stung last week as well by both a wasp and a bee on the same day!

You must be the sweetest meat around Scarlet., three wasp stings is no joke.

Actually I'm never normally too bothered but one of the stings has a huge red area the size of a saucer. I've had to take antihistamines today.
No photos but Spud has just brought a hedgehog to the house. Luckily, he put it down before bringing it inside like last time. It was hooooge .
