Some herps from Spain.

I went to a beautiful place here in *beeeeeeeeeep* and besides getting a real bad case of sun burn, i had a very happy day of herping hehe.
We visited two different spots, a large natural pool, and a bog.
In the pool we were able to see Hyla arborea, P.perezi, L.boscai, Natrix maura and Emys orbicularis.
In the bog and the nearby river we found P.perezi, Lacerta shcreiberi, Chalcides striatus and a non-herp but still cute little fella, a bat.
Well...here are some of the pics.

Great photos as usual, Rodrigo, thanks for sharing. That's a beautiful Hyla arborea. I have to ask - how did you catch the bat?

 

[Azhael]

Thank you John.
We spotted several bats in the cracks under a bridge. So i held a bag up the crack, and my friend scared the poor thing with a twig. When it tried to fly away it went directly into the bag.

Hehe, smart. My father used to catch bats when he was fly fishing (I know, odd). They would go for the fly when he was casting because they too thought it was a fly in the air just as a fish thinks it's a fly on/in the water.
