Walking from Cruach na Seilcheig to Ben Garrisdale 15th June 2022 we came across this adder who despite my wife letting out a scream when she nearly stood on it still stayed still to allow me to come back for a photo. Very considerate of it!

A good conditioned female by the look of it.

Yeah I thought from photos that I’ve seen that it was a female. Needless to say I didn’t pick it up to try and check!!!!
