Hi Matt!

Nice trip. Very cool the endemic herps as Discoglossus (both species) and Natrix natrix!

Grrreat !!!

Your "awesome scenery" shot looks very familiar - http://www.hylawerkgroep.be/jeroen/index.php?id=48 - May 15th

Love the Salamandras, of course. Also want to find such a marbled Euproctus some day...
Great shots of the hike scenery.

Interesting that you found Algyroides with relative ease!

Great colour on that first montalentii!

Might the Natrix's blue be a post-mortem effect (e.g. like you often see in dead lizards like Lacerta agilis)?

I have finally done my Corsican report here http://carlcorbidgefieldherping.blogspot.co.uk/.

Jeroen I think the colour on the dead natrix is the living colour (it looked to have recently shed), one of the live snakes has a little blue behind the head see below. The algyroides were in the north east. Just for you Peter some wall/rock lizards below.
