To be honest we don't spot many snakes in our ventures out in nature so when we do it's an opportunity to get a few pictures.
This beautiful Tiger Snake was sunning himself on the edge of the lake at Perth Wildlife Hospital and immediately took to the water as we approached. I literally didn't even see him until he was swimming away and only managed to grab a few shots of him before he disappeared into the foliage bordering the lake.
I had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised on viewing the image at home, not only did I get a nice shot of the Tiger Snake showing off his incredible colours but also noticed a passenger sat on his head 👍🤣
