Natrix natrix
Great Photo ! You can add this spotting to the 'Reptiles and Amphibians of Europe' Mission! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1329...
Thanks, I think you're right. In my local dialect it is called something like "The frog-eating snake".
My best guess is the grass snake (Natrix natrix), the yellow band behind the neck is what did it for me.
