My fieldherping friend, Mathias Holm has visited me in the last few days.. Which means lots of fieldherping! ;)

Species list from his stay here:

Natrix natrix
Zootoca vivipara
Pelophylax kl. esculentus
Rana temporaria
Rana arvalis
Pelobates fuscus
Bufo bufo
Bufo variabilis
Triturus cristatus
Lissotriton vulgaris


Pictures:

First, nesting Cygnus olor:

One out of about 4 Natrix natrix we found, this one during the day on the Island of Amager.
This one acted like a cobra, striking and everything. Not a normal behavior for a Natrix natrix:

We found a lot Zootoca vivipara around my house, including around 8 individuals below a piece of wood, one of them was melanistic:
