More important, though, the adder is an “indicator species”. Its very presence demonstrates a healthy countryside with “bio-diversity” – simply because it needs a mixture of habitat and a variety of prey species to survive (including mice, voles, frogs, lizards and young birds). If the adder is in trouble, the rest of nature is, too.
Although this article was published some time ago now, I thought it was still work a fresh link.
Don't forget that KRAG will be hosting this year's SE Regional Meeting. This year's event will focus on the conservation of the adder. More details are available on the KRAG website.
