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.

? There's only variegata in Montenegro.

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.
