Second Encounter by ubobohobo

Second Encounter

A friendly one this time. The crows chased a hawk away from something and then proceeded to fight amongst themselves over whatever they had won. Curiosity got the better of me and this is what I found - the second snake in a week. "When you fall off your horse you have to get back on" (For Terry, I asked this one nicely and he was only too willing to pose.)
EEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is beautiful but I think I would rather not have him near me....we are wimps in the UK not used to snakes!

@happypat He is harmless but between each of those big white scales around his mouth are retractable teeth so I wouldn't like to be bitten by him. He was out among the rainbow bee-eater nests. They burrow into the ground. So I'm assuming he's feasting on baby birds.
