A few days ago I was putting another nesting box up on the Sycamore tree in the garden, after hammering a long nail in I realised I had it in the wrong position so I pulled it out and the tree water / sap began trickling out, I thought nothing more about it and got the nest box up, Today I took this picture showing the result of the misplaced nail

Looks like attempted dendrocide to me. Have you googled for any Sycamore sap wine recipes? I've heard of Birch sap wine, so it might be an opportunity to make it look like you meant to do it all along.

I'm surprised they are out with the temperatures we are having.

they're tough little snakeys... they were out in the snow in some places... as long as there's sunshine to bask in, they're ok. Grass Snakes aren't so tough, which is why they don't go much further north than the scottish border

and this was the closest i got - approx 3 1/2 - 4ft away... the biggest danger was the thorns i was kneeling on...

[QUOTE 2385544, member: 9609"]Fantastic to see, this is the time of year they first appear, trying to get a bit of warmth in a sunny spot.

Here's one I got from last year LINK (second picture down)[/quote]

lovely! such variety in colours in them. they have unique head markings... although it does mean gatting a shot from above... not always easy. very shy things too, i was kneeling and lying in brambles and making a bit too much noise and movement as i got snagged, so they'd scamper away if i got too close. i never felt threatened, they were definitely more scared of me.

The third photo is lovely. Can't look at the middle one. Something about the coiling, writhing mass. *shudder*

Loch Rannoch treated us to a beautiful reflection this morning. (It is rarely this calm so scenes like this are not common.)
I did get the big camera out, however this one is from the little camera...
I may do a compare, if I get chance tomorrow (exhausted from today's rather long bike ride 111.km & 1397m of climbing!)
