Non birding/ Brown Snake

[Bob Rusk <>]

Hi Roger !

I'm not an expert in sexing snakes but I would lean to guessing that this one being a female. The reason being  that I couldn't for the life of me imagine that a male would get itself in to such a predicament . Of course there could be some (misguided) opinions from some other sections of the community . I don't know if its the same empty pond that we seen last week but there was a recently demised Pee Wee (female) caught in the mire when we were there.

The photos of the Brown snake were take at the Fyshwick sewerage ponds, he had taken a wrong turn and ended up in the slimy mud on pond  1a. The dotterel in the photo was one of about 6 that took some interest at one stage,though not venturing to close, he did eventually make it out of the pond.
