Hi All

I was out on a site in Camberley yesterday afternoon, and while taking a few pictures of 2 adders, i noticed that a pidgeon about 1 foot away was motionless and not moving.

I managed to disperse the adders and picked up the bird, upon checking his side i noticed a very small puncture mark...... The bird could just about walk but couldn't seem to fly just looked drunk. Could one of the adders have bitten the bird???
