The year starts here with Salamandra salamandra which are of undefined subspecies as S.s. salamandra meets S.s. terrestris here.

We got an excellent botanical garden here, it serves as habitat for some nice animals like:

And while helping some toads to cross the road I find some "freaks" sometimes, like this Lissotriton vulgaris female
