Rat snake; The Bite sent on May 12, 2015 (20:35) by Enrico Boscolo. 19 comments, 3424 views.

con Canon EF 2.0x III, 1/800 f/8.0, ISO 640, hand held. Specie: Hierophis viridiflavus

Camminando all'esplorazione di quello che sarà il mio nuovo posto per foto di uccelli acquatici, mi sono addentrato su di un argine davvero stretto, su un sentierino fra l'erba alta di appena 10 centimetri, avviso un gruccione, lo inquadro, ma sento muovere l'erba davanti a me, non mi convince, sento una brutta sensazione, continuo con un paio di passi e vedo l'erba che continua a muoversi sempre di più verso di me, ad un certo punto abbasso lo sguardo e vedo un biacco enorme... mai visti di così grandi, continua ad avanzare, ed io non so cosa fare, così prendo a battere i piedi a terra fermo sul posto ma questo sembra incuriosirlo ancora di più, avanza, avanza tanto che arriva ad 1 metro e mezzo dai miei piedi, io continuo a battere, e alla fine lascia il sentiero e sparisce fra l'erba. Poco più avanti l'argine si allarga, e da distante vedo questa scena fantastica, mi abbasso e "striscio" in avanti silente, inquadro, ma non sono felice, continuo a strisciare in avanti ed ad un certo punto l'azione si era spostata verso di me... troppo avanti la scena non mi sta più interamente sul fotogramma, così mi metto seduto e mi godo lo spettacolo, che non avevo mai visto, eleganti, rapidi, decisi, sinuosi, una vera opera d'arte di madre natura!

I photographed this moment too, but your picture is more beautiful. They are mating rituals, which explain the unusual confidence.
