Seewinkel, Austria; September 2009

Postby Mario Schweiger » Mon Sep 14, 2009 7:32 am

Hello,

from wednesday morning, September 9th to Friday afternoon, Sept. 11th we have been in the Seewinkel (Burgenland, Austria) again.
Reason for the trip have been again, checking the larger Puszta meadows for suitability for herps. At this time the autumn aspects, like species and amount of grasshoppers, etc.

For location and herp species living there, please see: http://fieldherping.eu/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=52.

Here now some pictures of lizards and amphibians, found at this time.

When I was there (I have to drive about 300 kms at least), it was much to early or a few days to late.
The males have turned to a pink color.

sorry to dig up this topic ! the first time I went to the Neusiedlersee I must have 8 years ? It was in 1964, there was still the "rideau de fer" and Bufo viridis throughout the streets of Apethlon! Now I returned in 2002, things have changed ... in bad for nature, good for borders and freedom ...

Mario...

Can I just echo Jurgens sentiments, Fuscus is rapidly becoming my nemisis :D I have tried and failed in at least three different countries this year, on sites that were guaranteed!!
Stunning individual you found, great pics..

Next year I am determined to take pics of fuscus and blue and now pink arvalis :D

Cheers

Paul
