The trip was quite succesful, so I´d like to show some pictures to you.
First stop was in the Jura mountains for two hours. Found a small aspis and a lot of Podarcis muralis.
- Vipera aspis aspis
After this break, the Mistral blew my VW Bus down to southern france (120km/h is quite good for the smallest T4 engine)
. The following three days were full of hiking and search for amphibians in the late evening.- Habitat of Alytes obstetricans, Bufo bufo, Pelophylax spec. (?), Natrix maura, Podarcis liolepis, and many more
- Alytes obstetricans male
- Bufo bufo
- Podarcis liolepis in its habitat
- Podarcis liolepis
- other one
- Pool with lots of tadpoles
- Tarentola mauretanica
- Tarentola close
- Hyla meridionalis
- Pelobates cultripes
- Another one in the water
- Bufo calamita
- Triturus cristatus male
- Triturus cristatus female
Cloudy day, 15°C on the mountains so I decided to drive up, to search for my first Ursinii, after about 2 hours I found this nice little beaty.
- Vipera ursinii in situ
- Vipera ursinii
Really happy I drove down the mountains and back to Germany.
All in all one of my best short trips, even the "Mistral" couldn´t spoil my good mood
