Or join our Green Army team at the wetlands .... 2 on Tuesday and 5 on Wednesday. They wear long pants and gaiters or waders if in the creek – which is good
as on both days a participant stepped on one. But note none of the encounters have involved a snake striking out – all disappeared rapidly into the long vegetation where they feel safer.
Julie – like your photo of the one in the hide. Can we print a copy and put it in the hide with acknowledgement ?

If anyone wants to increase their chances of a 'Brown Snake Encounter', just come walking with me.
I must be wearing some sort of sign! (Just ask Alison and Jill!)
