Nothing to worry aboutNothing to worry about - that's a grass snake I'm sure. You can tell from the yellow behind its head. UK native but I've never seen one, annoyingly.

I remember...being by a beach on a lake in Provence. A little French girl comes up to her mother with a snake in a bucket. Said mother screams like merry hell. I casually walked up (being about 12 at the time) and said "Non, non, c'est pas une viper. Ce n'est pas dangereuse." It was a viperine snake, a little baby one. Looks like an adder but isn't.
