Romania and Bulgaria (October 2014) - The Slow Reporter

[Ronald Zimmerman]

The trip was great, with a lot of manly stuff like English tea and chocolate. I had to many new species to see, so for me it was a very successful trip! Thanks guys!
After the busiest time of the year I finally had time to finish my report.
I am a teacher and November and December are crazy times. I hope you enjoy reading the report.

Had missed that report, very nice. Obviously love the vipers but a special one on the black Zamenis. They seem quite common in the Balkan but to me, it really looks amazing compared to our "normal" brown specimen
