After all those nice reports on the Balkans, I'm posting some "German stuff" following the past 3 days spent in the Allgäu region. The weather was changing a lot during this long week-end: Snow on Friday, sun on Saturday, and a mix of clouds and sun on Sunday and Monday. All in all, 1 full day was dedicated to herping. The first attempt to observe V.berus close to a "moor" was not successful because of a too cloudy sky. Nevertheless, I was pleased to meet Jürgen, our Vipera aficionado Today I tried my chance again, and thanks to a more favourable weather (some sun around 9 a.m), and despite the wrong weather forecast (those guys can definitely not predict the weather those days...), I could photograph several adders in situ. I know someone who will certainly go back there soon...

The highlight of the day, a very beautiful and calm animal:
