A telling reminder of littering's impact on wildlife. This little male sand lizard was very lucky we came across it whilst surveying. The other wasn't so lucky. As well as posing a fire risk, discarded bottles can be a death trap for small animals, so take your rubbish home folks

[Adders are Amazing! @AddersAmazing]

Pheasants have a massive impact on reptiles and will fatally injure adders and leave them to die... as they are released on adder sites, it’s another major factor believed to be driving their declines 😞

[AdderAid @AdderAid]

This is great news, some much needed media for the often forgotten adder! Congratulations @ARGroupsUK

Sounds like a great day:)

This bit of footage is a couple of years old now, but it is still an amazing clip of an adder trying to get its lunch.
Adders usually feed on small mammals, lizards, nesting birds and frogs. They can use both ambush and active hunting techniques to find and kill their prey.

Great fact and photo...

As it's #TongueOutTuesday , here is my contribution. Snakes use their tongues to pick up scent in the air. Their tongues are forked to calculate direction and distance. #reptile #snake @SussexARG @ARGroupsUK @ARC_Bytes @BritishHerpSoc @froglifers @MontWildlife @TetZoo @bakerwell

[British Herpetological Society @BritishHerpSoc]

The British Herpetological Society has finally joined Twitter! Thank you to everyone for all the follows already. Our friend and keen herpetologist Steve Allain will be managing the account, with occasional help from me, Chris Gleed-Owen (BHS Chairman).

[Adders are Amazing! @AddersAmazing]

Do join in and create an adder stone! Paint any stone with a nice adder design using acrylic paint, spray with clear varnish (optional), write @AddersAmazing and/or the FB link in marker on the back and place on an adder spot near you! 😀🐍

[AdderAid @AdderAid]

Lots of lovely adder photos coming in recently. Remember if you spot an adder you can help create more up to date information on adder population sizes and distribution. Just clink on the links and follow the instructions...

Nothing gives me more of a late winter lift than finding my first adder of the year......

Beautiful picture of a female adder, basking in this wintery sun. Thanks for sharing.

@paulcoombes844 @4peatssake2 Thank you for your comment @paulcoombes844, I think its just about having safety and wellbeing for oneself and the adders.

[AdderAid @AdderAid]

A lovely picture and great advice.

[Bog-trotter @4peatssake2]

As the fabulous #Adder emerges from hibernation please do not harass or cause them stress by seeking that 'perfect' photograph😟 Today's were taken from well back & the enjoyment is watching them without disturbing them👍respect #reptiles #fieldcraft #herptiles

[AdderAid @AdderAid]

@DenbighshireCC @BristolCouncil Thankyou for the reply, I will be sure to do this.

[AdderAid @AdderAid]

Retweeting this article as I would like to know if the project has been successful. Can anybody in the Denbighshire area, or anyone in the know cast some light on this? Also if it has been successful, could it be done in other areas of the UK?

@DenbighshireCC @BristolCouncil

[AdderAid @AdderAid]

This is a very interesting idea, adders suffer from persecution and habitat destruction if this can work, it could mitigate human wildlife conflict and make good use of road side verges.
