The last days were good. The climate was very mild and we had a lot of rain during the night. All photos were taken in the western part of germany. The natterjacks are calling and there were hundreds of them, just a nice place.

Hi all,
after "lurking" for quite some time in this great forum and not contributing anything I take the opportunity of an unusually productive one hour walk at a nearby brook to introduce myself and post some of my todays findings. I am a biologist from Upper Austria (though unfortunately working in IT management) spending every spare minute in the field herping and photographing. Today a stretch of 500m at the northern outskirts of Linz yielded 14 Natrix tesselata and 2 Zamenis longissimus. Not bad for 60 minutes of urban herping - at least for me...

btw: any clues as to the frog of the last picture? I really lost track of central european water frog taxonomy years ago...

Regards
Erich
