Still, at least that means I might get another chance to go looking for those Adders, I know they're there!

Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh
Sometimes the places to look aren't necessarily the most obvious. Local knowledge is a good startring point... ask the locals (especially gardeners, groundsmen etc) where they see snakes.
This weekend I searched some really wild countryside in Wales, but found nothing. Then I got talking to an old woman who regularly walks her dog along a public footpath with a board-walk across a marsh land. She told me there are so many Adders there, lying out on the cut reeds, that she has to pick her dog up and carry it for fear of it getting bitten. Unfortunately, by the time I got there it was 4pm and about a million degrees C. The point is I would never have found the place without her local knowledge.
