- Hyla arborea
- Pelophylax kl.esculenta
- Alytes obstetricans
- Bombina variegata

- Lacerta bilineata

- Anguis fragilis

- Coronella austriaca

Cool! The bilineata female doesn't seem to enthsiastic about the male's approach - did the really mate?

They were still pretty "small" compared to other bilineata in the area. I left after some minutes watching them flirting around.
