January 3rd: Newts and Salamanders

Nice! It's not too cold here either, but the strong wind seems to prevent the 'manders from coming out - only 6 on Friday. So far, January has been a better month for me.

Thanks! :O)

It seems as if spring almost fully arrived. The common frogs are in action. I'm going to go on a little hike today to search for spawn. Am really looking forward to it.
Last sunday it was suprisingly warm and I found three L. agilis sunbathing. I also had a couple of days off from work and did a small trip to look for L. bilineata on Tuesday. Unfortunately I also chose a really windy day, I only found a couple of wall lizards and just one L. bilineata.
