Field Notes - tricky getting up close for a good photo
Thick and glossy, grey to sandy coloured in different lights. Unafraid of vehicle. Hooded eyes.
OK, not a lot of snake visible here, but it looks striped to me. I wasn't about to wake it up from it's sunbaking. It was just on the side of the track amongst the bracken.
