The UK’s largest snake, and harmless the grass snake, is found of wetland habitats, but can also be found in dry grasslands. During the summer, grass snakes can be spotted basking in the sun. Often seen near ponds or swimming in the water looking for one of their favourite meals “frogs”!
Grass snakes are greenish in colour, with a yellow and black collar, pale belly, and dark markings down the sides. The females are bigger than males.
Today we were lucky enough to see this fine grass snake enjoying the sun at Titchfield Haven.
