A snake behaving like an ostrich, burying it's head in the sand! My dog Merlin walked past this Greater Green snake on the path, then turned back to have a good sniff at it when he was I had stopped and was studying it more closely. The poor snake was scared, especially when Merlin started scratching the grass to mark his territory. It slithered away into the grass - but like the mythical ostrich, buried its head in the sand - leaving its tail to stick out. Totally harmless, its main diet are earthworms.
