Only three types of snakes in Sweden. You have the Snok (Grass Snake) which is very common (featured in your videos) and is not venomous and it prefers to hang out close to water sources, usually dark with with white spots behind the head, secondly you have Hasselsnok (Smooth Snake) also not venomous and less common than regular Snok, Hasselsnok is greyish brown with dark spots . Lastly you have the Huggorm (European adder) which is venomous but only dangerous to humans if you happen to be allergic to their venom. They have a striking zig-zag pattern going all along it's back.

This is not a common behavior as far as I know but some people just take things too far. And recently there have been a lot of new rules and laws about flying drones and also filming with them. you need a special license and in some places permission (military and NATO requirements). People don’t care about this to 99% but burglars has been using drones to spot out machinery and equipment on farms and even boat engines at lakes so people are on the edge in the summertime.
