Grass Snake calls into Brandon Marsh Nature Centre
Visitors to Warwickshire Wildlife Trust's nature centre at Brandon
Marsh didn't have to look too far for signs of local wildlife when
a large grass snake found its way into the visitor centre on
Friday.
Ian Jelley, Reserves Manager said, "It was
a rather surprising to find such a large snake in the centre as
grass snakes are usually shy creatures that try to avoid contact
with people. It probably came in as the weather has been so warm
and whilst the snakes themselves do not require water, their food
source amphibians do."
