Nice pictures from the "Schütt", Micha
This wooden box: Was there a camera inside? I know they have some there for bears, watching their pathes, but I never saw one in a bird breeding box

........... and you, together with Birgit in 2010?
Two vipers only! But you are a lizard man and saw dozens of horvathis, muralis and some viridis

I think we drove 15000 km for our first vipera latastei

and was the price money the same we paid for the trips?

[Stéphane Aubry]

Great report !

I love this kind of "crazy" trip

I also saw Jürgen's Viperas in Bavaria - so 4 viperas and 2500 km

Nice photos there Michael - the first lizard shot is pretty cool. Could you please post some more of the other adders you found?

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

Good, crazy stuff !

Anyone care to express their thoughts about morphology/pattern of the Alpine clade vs. berus (or bosniensis)? Imho, intermediate, but definitely berus-like...

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

There is even a difference between Nuremberg and Berlin animals - particularly in terms of pattern.

Well, yes, there most be some genetic factor that determines the % of black ones in a population, as well as the occurrence of those "silver bullets" ...
