Posted: 02 Dec 2005 On a recent visit to a certain Common in South Bucks, now a local Nature Reserve, I noticed information boards indicating the presence of adders. I knew this site well when I lived in the area in the 1970's, and adders were frequent there then, but subsequently declined dramatically due to bad habitat management and fires. According to Tony Phelps they became extinct there more recently. Have they susequently been re-introduced? Mike Brown Mike Brown Merseyside ARG |

Posted: 13 Feb 2006 Hello from Western Cape South Africa and 40deg.! I did indicate that the adder was almost extinct at ***** Common, but in fact they have recovered from a very low ebb due to good management. I do miss me berus, but have to dash now, cobra stuck in car!! Cheers Tony Phelps |
