Thanks for the comments I took those photo's over a couple of hours, but missed what would have been the most awsome photo of the lot, see the 7th photo down, well, when I went back down to the pond I spotted another grass snake starting to feed on the head end, gutted that when I turned on the camera the "wirring" sound scared it off Ruth |

The million dollar question? Did he/she finish the fish?

Brilliant photos, great sighting.
My one concern is about the netting on the pond - would there not be a risk of a snake getting entangled or stuck in that? The mesh size seems just about perfect for trapping a recently-fed grass snake... Cheers, Wolfgang |

Mind you, in some ways i'm kind of glad it did as I guess that either or both of the grassies may have ended up dead if they had both continued to feed on the one fish!
