Salamander's return.

Just quickly....on a hike up to Maennlichen this morning I saw 8 'regemollies'. This is a black salamander that is usually seen on wet days only. Hence the local name containing the German word for rain. Yes, it was drizzling nicely this morning.
Not long ago these little lizards could be seen regularly on a wet day in the village. It would be a rainy day pastime with toddlers to go splashing in puddles and searching for 'regemollies'. But then I started to see a lot squashed, probably due to increased traffic. Now they are rarely to be seen in the village.
That's why I was so excited to greet eight of them on my walk. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, so no pictures to show. I'll try to post one up soon.
