Bufo (Pseudepidalea) viridis is very rare in my area, it`s on the red List for endangered species in Bavaria. The reason for that is, of course, almost the same, Habitat destruction.
After some Internet work I found a few pit’s where this Bufo`s occur just 50 km away from my home. But the last count was 2005, maybe something changed dramatically???
I was out today, in the first pit I found one Sand lizard and a few Rana temporaira.
In the second pit I found nothing.
In the third pit SUCCESS!!!!!! That`s the first I found in Germany!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found it under this trash

In this puddle I found hundreds of tadpols, hopefully all survive.

I took an other way back to the car and found this on a small road. Just two houses left and an old factory on the right, not much traffic, but one car to much. What a shame!!!!!!!!!!
