Laura and I went to Spain for summerholidays and combined all the good things in life which included of course a lot of herping!

Here's the report: http://www.herpsafari.nl/tripreports-eu/2013-8-sistema-central-northern-spain/

I love those "xy in its habitat" shots...but I have to admit, I'm a little bit jealous since Mr. B did at least 2 months of non-stop herping ths summer...

Michael, for me it was for sure the most beautiful Malpolon ever. We found a second larger one but that one managed to escape sadly...

Jürgen, Citrus-mander was also my favourite Salamander of the trip!

GJ, thanks!

Jennifer, martinezricai made me smile from ear to ear. It was above 40 degrees that day so an amazing find indeed! And rain is just another form of nice weather someone used to say...

Peter, luckily I'm back to work now to earn money of which I ran out of :)

You did well on finding the Batuecas rock lizard. I was up in Pena de Francia myself in June and I was abut to leave the top when I saw one. I was so affraid that it would disappear and only took a few photos from a distance.
I like the griffon vulture picture.
