Salamandra salamandra

[Ana Goncalves]

On December 25 I made a small excursion near home (close to Tomar, Santarém, a city in the center of Portugal) and I found 7 specimens of S. salamandra. I'm sorry for the low quality of the pictures.

a beautiful specimen

Also, some days before (22/12/13), some friends and I went to Serra da Lousã (Coimbra) to set up a light trap to attract nocturnal buterflies and, because it was a rainy night, I decided to look for amphibians but I only could spend a few minutes searching. I only found 2 S. salamandra.
