Grass snake scars

 

look at this. Two scars (and some nasty lesions), but the crucial point (forgive the pun) is to be found at the end (toward the rear of the snake!) of the first scar. You will see the point has entered again in a single pin prick and left off. Obviously it snagged on a bramble which cut along, it came out and snagged again but maybe the snake stopped moving which is why it only pierced and didn't cut, and the snake maged to release itself before it slid off again.

 

Does that finally settle it?! Interesting though.

The area I study covers several square miles of heath and woodland. There seems to be a large population that are found across several areas of it. You'll no doubt forgive me for not posting publically where it is.

I think its a shame you ridicule other peoples suggestions, especially as you have not yet offered anything in the way of evidence to the debate. So far you posted a photo, made suggestions and offered your assumptions which I personally dont accept. I asked you before, but you didn't reply, about having any photographic evidence of damage caused by known raptor attacks that you have claimed to witness. Do you actually have any? Or for that matter,any other evidence that would prove my suggestion is "ridiculous" as you claim? Or is it just a case of "my opinion is bigger than your opinion?"
