Amphibians migration

Slowly the migration of amphibians like toads and salamanders comes to an end.


(female Alpine newt or in Dutch Alpenwatersalamander)

Volunteers have been helping the animals to cross the roads safely by putting up screens,
digging in some buckets and transporting them to the other side a couple of times a day.
Their help can't prevent road casualties completely but
it increases the amount of casualties seriously.
Sometimes I go there to give a helping hand.

You can find some information about the Alpine newt here : English , Dutch 
You can find some information about the migration of amphibians here: HYLA




I admire the commitment of the volunteers.
Going there for weeks in a row even several times a day!
Chapeau!!!! ★
