2020/21 - What's made you happy today?

A happy today too - after startling a western whip snake back into a log pile I then sat and waited (benches all round this garden!) and eventally it came back out again. I watched it hunting through the undergrowth around me for nearly 20 mins. Once it came with a metre or so of my foot so couldn't have known I was there. Stunning grren and yellow snake, and of course I didn't have my camera because I'd just popped up to the compost heaps to get some leaf mold! Only the second one of seen. Happy.

You're welcome to your snakes PP, I'm not sure I want anything other than a slow worm around my compost heap.  OH would go loopy at snake surprises, not his favourite creature.

Anything that eats voles is welcome I've always liked snakes but had to work really hard with the spiders ...
