Dennis Ovenden worth his amazing realistic full-color illustrations
knighthood - and all of the Viper are all cheek by cheek on the same page for
comparison. And almost on the same page!

I believe most of us has watched so many Women leather shoes and almost all of them are pretty fashion and beautiful

It may be scientific books and field guides that you are looking for, but if you are interested in literary nature writing that also includes stories, personal emotion and philosophical ideas, then you might like to look at the early twentieth-century nature writer W.H. Hudson, who wrote powerfully about adders in several of his works, such as Hampshire Days and Nature in Downland.

By some extraordinary act of generosity Tony Phelps's Adder study is available somewhere on-line. If you can find it Ian Prestt's study is worth rooting out. Failing that the RAUK back catalogue should fill yer boots for a while. Gemma F (on this forum) is your go to gal, although i suspect her posts will tend to correspond with the reptile hibernation period.
I'm sure Rodger McPhail would be someone very worth getting to know. His approach to 'Private Life..' will hopefully inspire many a young whippersnapper in the generations to follow us.

1 more for your consideration Pesky!
if a good FIELD GUIDE is your bag then i recommend; "A Field Guide to The Reptiles and Amphibians of Britain & Europe" Nick Arnold (Collins 1978, updated 2002). pretty hard to beat! every european species of herp is covered including many of the various colour phases of Sand Lizard etc etc. Denys Ovenden deserves a knighthood for his startlingly lifelike full-colour illustrations - and all the Vipera etc are cheek-by-jowl on the same page for easy comparison. well almost the same page! full set of distribution maps and plenty of detailed sketches of scaling patterns etc to help you identify tricky ones more easily. a genuinely "pocket-sized" book with a robust, hard cover that you can spill beer on and take with you when you (inevitably) want to check out the other species of viper beyond the UK! ben |

Hi Pesky,
Another to try if you can get it is "British Snakes" by Leonard G Appleby ISBN 0 212 98393 8. A bit old but quite interesting. I purchased mine from the "Living World" in Armley, Leeds, a few years ago. Try them they may still have a copy.
Chris
