It is way too warm for December but good for herping. A friend and I decided to go on a search for salamanders and alpine newts last friday night. Our spot never disappoints. When we arrived it just had stopped to rain and the temperature was around 8°C. We found about 30 fire salamanders (adults, subadults, juveniles and one larva) and about 70 alpine newts (adults, subadults and juveniles). We also found a common toad, but it didn't seem to be in a very good shape.

Thanks for watching! :O)
