Adders at Allerthorpe

Hi, 
Just been to Allerthorpe tonight and spotted 5 Adders. Some were in the fenced off reserve and others were nearby.  I saw no others in the parts where work has been carried out, but I'll keep looking. There were 3 common lizards on different islands on the bare areas, just showing that a few managed to survive.
Here's a few pics of four of the Adders. One was in pre-molt as you can see, while another seemed to have a damaged eye/s. Strimmer damage maybe?
