Singapore 2023
- Details
Back in 2023 we were invited to a wedding in Singapore! Here just a view pics from that trip. We were mainly sightseeing and celebrating, but also had a short exkursion to the Kranji Coastal Nature Park. As far as I had no camera equipment with me, all pics were shot with the mobile phone, therefore low picture quality.

And here a video of a mating attempt of Varanus nebulosus / Clouded monitor / Nebelwaran, the second very common monitor lizard species. |
All in all it was a really nice trip (even though we were only one day in nature), the wedding was really amazing, and I saw crocodiles! And tons of monitors!
The random song reference in the end: Phildel
Viper searching in Lower Austria
- Details
In 2024 the common adder (Kreuzotter / Vipera berus) was announced as the "reptile of the year". Because of that, Christoph organised an excursion for the Austrian Herpetological Society to visit a place in Lower Austria that is well known for it's population of the common adder.
Even though we were only 5 persons looking for herps, we were really successful: we saw at least 5 vipers. But also for other reasons it was a very interesting trip. We found at least 7 species of orchids, many viviparous lizards (Bergeidechse / Zootoca vivipara) and some other reptiles and amphibians (like slow worm and fire salamander).

We could observe at least 10 viviparous lizards (Bergeidechse / Zootoca vivipara) |

This page links to excursions that were more memorable to me than others . There are mainly three reasons for that -- because of the destination, the experience and/or because I especially like that pictures :-)
