Grass Snake under reptile mat on Brook Meadow - 24 06 22

On my visit to Brook Meadow today I was interested to check the reptile mats near the bug hotel following asighting of a possible Barred Grass-snake yesterday. Under the right side mat I found what is almost certainly the same Grass-snake that I saw on June 20. Like that one it remained for a few seconds after the mat had been lifted and then moved quickly away. I managed to get some photos and a video before it moved off. It certainly looked like a Common Grass-snake to me with dark body and a few bars on the flanks and a distinct yellow collar.
Both mats had at least two Slow-worms underneath which did not move when I lifted the mat.
