Really sorry for not posting anything for a long time. I was stuck with my exams and now, its finally over and I'm free. Hence I think I'll have to rush through my posts as I've got much more to show. Let me now continue with my story...

As I had said, I was awaiting dismissal and upon recieving it, I was taken to the Carpark 1 area where the snake had been found. The staff there took us on a clubcar and drove us there. Once we reached the place where they rreported the snake, we frantically started searching the entire area for the snake. There was a big pond in front of us. Caught in my eye was a tall bird. A Heron. A Grey Heron, perhaps? I didn't get any clear pictures of it though. Here's a shot of it sitting down on the tree.

A few more herons were spotted. All of the same kind, colour and size. I got a shot of one flying over the water surface, but no shots of any standnng on the ground. They were too far.

We continued looking for the snake then. My hopes began falling as I thought that the snake would have already slithered away into some other place.

Hmmm, Shawn. Thats odd. The heron in the first picture looks like a black crowned night heron, but the second image's bird lookes like the grey heron. Did you take the same heron? Anyway, the spotted ones are probably immatures.
They were the same species, thats for sure. This incident took place very long ago so I can't really remember. But I remember that the heron on the tree was flying around and landed there just for a few minutes beore taking off again. And, some leaves and branches are blocking the heron's mouthparts and the beak, so maybe you got confused with that?
I guess so. I'm glad your exams are over
