1st time I’ve seen a boomslang by our driveway, gutted it was dead. It was beautiful.They’re highly venomous tree snakes,but shy,non aggressive &rarely bite humans.Less that 6bites a yr recorded in SA. More people die from toasters about 700 a yr! #perspective #bewareofthetoaster
So how has the prolonged hot weather of the summer affected some of our water birds, esp swans?
