🎄The Nature of Mull - Advent Calendar Day 0️⃣ 3️⃣ 

Making the adder count! These sensational snakes do relatively okay on parts of Mull, but sadly are a 'vanishing viper' on large areas of the mainland in recent decades. These animals often get demonised due to being a venomous snake, but did you know that there has only been one human death by an adder bite since the 1970s in the UK. In that same time, human-based actions have caused the decline of 50% of all the wild biomass on the planet! Sadly, 'clickbait journalism' continues to put a negative spotlight on these shy and secretive snakes and can impact all the positive efforts to champion these misunderstood reptiles.
