Hi,

19 Mai, herping tripp to Asiago, North of Italy!
... and we found one of the most rare and most difficult to find European Salamadra!

Stunning specimen, Paul!

Hello Paul,

thanks for the nice photos!
Really enviable as I've never seen any real Salamandra atra aurorae.

Regards,
Peter

Hello Jakob,

Man, I have to join you on your field trips in NRW some time.

... don't tell it - do it

@Peter, it was my first too!
... and we not find it, she found us!
15:30, after a fine rain, she walked on our way!

You were lucky. I bet those minutes of seeing this animal made the whole trip worthwhile. Thanks for sharing!

In fact. It felt like a dream, like not of this world.
