Found this little creature last saturday. There was a beautiful piece of birch bark I wanted to take home, but when I picked it up there was this fire salamander hiding underneath it! Took a few pictures and put the birch bark back in place. This was the first time I discovered a fire salamander in that area!

I cant believe I have only just seen this thread,

Fantastic pictures folks.

Harvestman: Great last pic, I have tried a few times to capture the swallows in flight but I have never had a shot turn out good. excellent job

All the best

The swallows were being unusually cooperative that day, although I still missed 99% of the attempts to get them. All of the successes were of birds just taking off. Once they were up to speed they were just too fast.
