It is a common European adder or Vipera berus if you prefer the Binomial name. This one is black because of pigment error and I was glad it was dead ………. They are not regarded as highly dangerous; bites can be very painful, but are seldom fatal. Anyway I don’t want them so close ………..

It was found about 100 meters from our house.
