Hello.
Photos of the habitat of pleurodeles waltl, in Tarragona mountains (100-200 km. aprox. south of barcelona ). It's the NE limit of distribution of spanish ribered newt in Spain. This photo's are taken one week ago, all photo's in the same day.
This is a typical mediterranean region, not high mountains ( 400-600 m. ).
For birdwatch people in this mountains breed more typical mediterraean birds the bonelli's eagle, Short toed eagle, Sylvia melanocephala are very frequentlly in this ponds for example, oenanthe leucorhoa, O.hispanica, and other mediterranean birds.
this pond is one of the limited NE points of disribution this newt. This pond not have water many months ago in the year...at actually (this photo) have many water.... there are not typical acuatic plants, and the density of newts are very low.. are years more larvae are dead because there aren't water....
Take some panoramic photos of the ponds for show the habitat around the pond
