OK.

I didn't see the brown / gray one - took me a little while even after having it pointed out

[Jürgen Gebhart]

Tell me: have you already retired from work for taking all those pictures?

NO,I wish Peter, I wish, but if everythnig works well than I have just 20 years too work.

I made a few extra hours during the wintertime and can use them now.

[Ilias Strachinis]

Don't have time at all this spring. The last two days I made 2 small trips (few hours) with a friend of mine, and probably will be my last, until summer.

Ilias, your great photos make me go mad that I'm not in Bulgaria right now! Very nice colours on that R.graeca! I don't think I've seen so colourful individual!

[Bobby Bok]

Beautiful animals, especially that arntzeni!

Nice findings buddies, it looks like spring is everywhere.
Found my first Lacerta agilis today, but I`m still waiting for the first Natrix natrix.

Nice agilis Jürgen !

Today I found a V.berus and a N.natrix at the same spot

Hello!

Toady I went out looking for snakes for the first time this year (6 months and 6 days since my last berus!). I went to my local place and in 3 hours saw 8 Zootoca. Just as I was about to call it a day I saw a male berus next to the road and, close by, a large female. He hadn't shed yet, but eyes were milky and she was looking ready to shed in the next week or so.

Zootoca vivipara

Spring has arrived in the Lake District!
