Rare Black Adder found in the Forest

First we had the video of wild boars feeding their piglets by the side of the road... then she learned to talk to a woodpecker. Now it's something slithery in the heart of the Forest of Dean.

With the help of wildlife photographer, Robin Ward, she found a melanistic (opposite to albino) adder basking in the sun. This is the first one Robin has seen in the Dean. They tend top be out between 10-2pm in areas of full sun with a place to shade. You can see more photos of the Adder on the .

Spurred on by this exclusive I shall return with a wildlife scoop later this week!
