Adders Duelling

Studland Heath, Dorset

Technical Details

Kodachrome 200 Film

Sigma APO 500mm

Exposure not recorded

"A small area of heath at Studland in Dorset produced many good sightings of Reptiles on a warm sunny spring day. This included these two duelling male Adders, raising their bodies above the ground to test each other's strength. I only had a few seconds to take this single shot before the fight was over and they both disappeared into the surrounding vegetation."

"It also included this striking male Sand Lizard basking in the sun."
