A few shots from my Istria Trip June the first till the fourth 2008.
I was alone on the road. no wife, no friends!
I was on the east coast, Labin area.
On the first two days the weather conditons were very good, it was warm, sunny with a light wind.
On the third day heavy rain starts, thunderstorms, very windy and less sunny minutes! The fourth day was also very bad.
I found in the frist two days 13 Species and pictured 12. I saw 7 of this damned, balck racing devils (Hierophis viridiflavus) but cut not make one pic!!!!!!

Here is what I found:

Hyla arborea

Pelophylax ridibundus

Algyroides nigropunctatus

Podarcis melisellensis fiumanus

Podarcis muralis Is it muralis muralis or muralis maculiventris????

Lacerta bilineata

Anguis fragilis

Hierophis gemonensis

Natrix natrix helvetica

Zamenis longissimus

Elaphe quatrolineata

Vipera ammodytes
