Back in July last year it was a freezing cold day with a bitter southerly blowing. Wind chill factor was high. Pooch and I were crossing some mown park land and were startled to see we'd disturbed a snake. It was a recently shed black. It took off with a great turn of speed heading back to the rocks some ten metres away where I guess it called home. To see an active snake lying in ankle long grass and moving so quickly on such a cold day rewrote
my book of snake knowledge.
It's not unusual to see Copperheads out and about over winter but they generally don't panic when we quietly walk past them. They are usually right beside the place they call home.....never any distance from home.
