I didn't expect to see a snake in my garden

I think it's a grass snake. I was surprised how fast they move and had to chase it across the grass.

Glad he stopped long enough for a photo

At least a non venomous snake. I read they eat amphibians. A nice capture for a fast snake!

A bit of a surprise for you even though not a welcomed guess a great shot

What an interesting find Rosie at least you knew it was safe and left it to continue on its way:)

I once watched a snake like this capture then eat a large lizard. So fascinating.
