Slippery nature of Scottish snakes

"This is the time of year when it is easiest to spot them (adders) as they emerge from hibernation" (The Herald, May 13). Here, adders first emerged in early March and continued to appear throughout the month, though fairly infrequently, as the weather was poor. In April they could be seen in greater numbers and more regularly. Despite the good weather, they have disappeared over the past week. This is not the best time to observe them.

There are, always have been, probably always will be, many 'slippery Snakes' always slithering about all the time and without any closed season to observe!

They can be seen 'fully operative' with their cunning activities, devising and practising them, mainly for, and being very successful at, 'personal profitability' - in the well known and closely guarded fields of 'Political Pastures of Paradise' - bit for Club Members only!

Not only will 'Adders' be observed - but in many cases you will probably find the more canny and elusive types - the 'multipliers!'

Slither man - you know it makes sense!
