I took a stroll around Roding Valley Nature Reserve this morning and came across this Grass Snake.
It soon became apparent that a predator had attacked it, I'm not sure if the predator had been disturbed or if the snake had managed to survive the attack on it's own.
I would think the damage to the scales would probably heal in time, But if there were more serious injuries then it might not make it.
