On this day we were doing some birding near the dam side in HD Kote with the local person and after spending some time there, suddenly the local guide told us to move slowly and look right into the bushes there was a snake. My sudden reaction was, oh snake, then he told me no need to worry it was a Green vine snake and not venomous and it's very common in this place. So we moved far away and took a few shots before it disappeared into the bushes and got some good shots with its mouth open.
