The grass snake was spotted at Springfield Park in Kidderminster.
Photographer Lee Scott shared a photo of the snake on the Shuttle’s Camera Club Facebook page earlier this month.
According to the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, grass snakes are the most common type of snake in Worcestershire.
They said: “Grass snakes are olive green/brown with black markings along the side of their bodies and a yellow ‘collar’ behind their head. They are Worcestershire’s most common reptile but they’re not seen very often and their numbers are declining.
“They’re often faithful to breeding and hunting sites so the loss of ponds, both in gardens and the wider landscape, as well the loss of long grass near to waterways and a decline in their prey (from frogs and toads to fish and newts) all contribute to a reduction in their numbers.
“Grass snakes are not venomous and will usually gently move into cover when they feel footsteps vibrating along the ground”.
