Sardinia 2008

[boeh]

I even "had to" catch a mammal. He got lost in our house and didn't find the way out. I decided to catch him and bring him out....but couldn't let my fingers of the camera and took those shots:

...he was not very amused and made a lot of noise, kind of screeching:



...something I didn't know that clear before....they have an impressive dentition:

[Gijs & Sabine]

Wow, that looks like a great vacation !!
Excellent pictures

[boeh]

Ok ok, I didn't only catch animals...sometimes (truely not many times) I took a recreation in the sea:



...but afterwards...hmm...how can I tell? oh, I don't have to, just have a look at the picture, what a luck


(think it is a Testudo hermanni, but I'm not sure at all. But it can't be the other native turtle (Testudo marginata))

[boeh]

Here the vocal ones, mainly at night, a real open air concert:

Hyla sarda

in green....





..they can change their color, couldn't believe it first (not the same exemplar, but could be without problem):

[boeh]

And those speedy gonzales' are almost everywhere:

Podarcis sicula





...eating something that i cannot declare clearly:



..or just hang around...

[boeh]

Here an Algyroides fitzingeri (very little guys)



and the last quadruped (Chalcides ocellatus <- hmm, those I know with that name are a little bit more beautyful ):

[boeh]

And now, I prouldy present my favorites:

We found a lot of juvenile Natrix maura. Only saw one adult, and this one was just to quick.

some with brown (in real even with kind of orange)



or more grey:









...oh, what a nice belly:

[boeh]
