Thanks for the comments. I thought it was a grass snake at first as like you had not seen an adder swim, I was pulled up on this when I posted it on flickr so did a bit more research. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2018/02/grass-snake-or-adder/ mine does have a v and a zigzag and when I googled adder swimming they can but it is rarer than a grass snake. Here is a shot before it started to go to the pond where the v is obvious

Thanks Arry I saw it swim across the pond onto a clump of grass so it was just a waiting game after that for it to slip back in and getting it's tongue out was a bonus. So yep pretty chuffed.

There are a lot more this year but the number of people out trying to get photos of them has gone up as well, I went to my local spot this morning only to be greeted with 10 or so people hanging around chatting with their pink and blue jumpers and white hats on wondering why nothing was showing. No fieldcraft and no idea so that spot is ruined unless it is raining. So I now need to find another spot.
