Hello from the Netherlands

[Bart Smit]

Hi everyone, I'm Bart from the Netherlands.

I'm a herping, butterfly, scuba diving and photography enthousiast. I like to combine all hobbies during my holiday trips .
I have a few nice frogs, toads and newts in my garden but usually I have to travel a little further.
Here are a few shots I really like.

taken in Montenegro:

I already had my doubts about the range of the alpestris, I found them in my pond when I moved here 5 years ago. the local population extends a few more adjacent ponds.

Very cool, did not know that, living very close to Gorcum but never checked outs ponds there, only did birding in the local bars....a long time ago.
