Trip report Menorca

Postby Peter Oefinger » Fri Mar 29, 2013 12:45 pm

Hi everybody,

due to the cold easter weather I had time to prepair my recent trip report from Menorca - of course full of great lizards but I even made some snake pictures on this well-explored but wonderful island:

Peter! You sneaky boy, going on this trip while we are all suffering from the slow spring!

Nice to see Menorca and its beasties again. Very decent snake result, especially for a lizard guy ;)

You did it right :) in normal case I like snakes more than lizards, but the balearic lizards are one big exeption :lol:

Great report with great pictures, glad you liked the island! I really love the picture of the yawning lilfordi, the Scelarcis and Tarentola together and the two Scelarcis together.

Hey Peter,

great and entertaining report with beautiful photography! I really like the pictures of Teira perspicillata and the ones of Podarcis lilfordi with the sea in the background.

And who would have thought a trip to Menorca could be so adventurous? With you having to cross stormy waters and all...or was it just to show off that giant tattoo in your report ;) ?

Cheers,
Laura
