After the berus site we moved a few miles down the coast to a dune area and were fortunate enough to see Lissotriton vulgaris, Lissotriton helveticus,Bufo bufo and Pelodytes punctatus.
A few observations from the day:
French berus habitat is a lot more marsh like than the UK.
Why when I herp ( with the exception of the fabulous Laura) do I go out with hairy arsed, burping, farting grumpy blokes ( obviously Bobby is super jaunty) were as my French counter part was surrounded by a harem of attractive female herpers.
At lunchtime the Brits opened flasks of tea and unwrapped ham sandwiches,our French colleagues had wine, beer, cake and all manner of lovely comestibles..
A great day, despite the weather, huge thanks to all concerned.
I returned home to find temporaria in amplexus in my garden..lovely.
