I went looking for Adders yesterday, I did see one female but unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get any pictures as I only saw it slithering it into some bracken and I lost sight of it after that. I did however see my first Tiger Beetles and Shieldbugs of the year.

Not sure which species of Beetle this is.
A few images of a male and female Kingfisher recently. And no matter how many times I have seen them It’s always an absolute privilege to watch them.
