an introduction was asked so here I am
. My name is Tim Leerschool and I'm 20 years old. As many of you, (I presume) I was interested in frogs, lizards etc. at a young age. About 12 years ater, here I am. I'm studying wildlife management and I'm currently following an internship at a Dutch association concerning nature in the South of Netherlands. My internship involves a study in A. fragilis and artificial cover objects, and data-processing of V. berus.
I've been contributing to fieldwork in the Netherlands for almost 4 years. In these 4 years I am working together with a biologist/herpetologist in V. berus conservation and monitoring all other present reptiles and amphibians.
I'm still fascinated by the behaviour of these animals, and I find it interesting that there is still a lot to find out about these creatures.
I find these forums a great way to meet people who share the enthousiasm about these animals, and hope doing here so too.
Best regards,
Tim
