These days are warmer than average but still specimens migrate. Normally we have towards the middle of September highest about below +20 and closer +15 degrees. Average temperature has been +10-12 degrees and day is much shorter (13 h). Lowest can be near +5. We have been noticed some hibernacula of adder and grass snake just following their direction of travel in autumn. This is the time when their make one's way to area where those spend winter. Of course, not yet in hibernacula but nearby. Timo
