Hi,

I visited one of my habitats near Hamburg today and found well over thousand juvenile Moor Frogs, Common Frogs, Common Toads and also some adult Water Frogs.

One little guy I couldn´t identify exactly. For me he doesn´t look like the other Bufo bufo´s. The animal is shown in the last three pictures.

Also Natterjack Toad (maybe) , Common Spadefoot and Tree Frog is known from the area, but I think it´s no Hyla ;-)

Hard to see the parotoid glands clearly, but calamita anyone?

Bufo bufo ! = no sorry I thought It was the little group on the hand.... for the las one effectivly the spots on the legs is not Bufo Bufo... In Hamburg area you could have both, viridis and calamita .... mybe viridis, difficult to say...

I have troubles with Bufo bufo - because of the distinct "spotted" legs.

viridis is not known from the area - in "herpetofauna.at" - forum they think calamita ?
