V. berus color-variations, lower austria

[Markus Oulehla]

Hi,
i want to share some pictures of Vipera berus berus from Rax, one of the foothills of the Alps in lower austria.
What I like the most at this place is the color diversity of the vipers.
But have a look at some of the specimens we found at the last two trips

























and one additional picture of edelweiss



I think you believe me, when I say that I enjoy every trip to the awesome place...

regards
Markus

Lovely!
Definitely more diverse than Benelux berus.

Markus,

Great images, particually the black adders...loved the very pale individual..almost ursinii like.. cheered my day up no end..

I would say that the variation is the same as berus from my local patch...but the scenery is much better

Nice adders! I love the photo with the berus camouflaged with the grass and the tree

[Sandra Panienka]

Awesome photos with very beautiful adders. I especially like those pictures, that have a little bit of blue sky in them.
