The green bombina is very cool!! Never saw one like this before. Nice pictures.

Vojvodina (Serbia):

Bero, from my viewpoint that would be a Bombina bombina (or hybrid) (despite less reddish underparts - typical stuff in E Croatia too).

Very cool, in any case!

Yrs, it is a Bombina bombina, for sure.

But regarding Paul's green Bombina from Montenegro, nobody actually said which of the two species it was.

Here's some more pics of the green bombinas and also two interestingly coloured alpestris (we also saw a melanistic one, but we couldn't photo it).

Still totally stunned by the green bombinas and the absolutely great looking alpestris.
