Al rico Molusco!

os dije que en mi huerto había sobrepoblación de babosas? Babosas rojizas americanas? (esto lo he oído hace poco, al parecer las negritas más delgaditas son las autóctonas, y estas gorrinas marronáceas está desplazando su población y jalando sin piedad todo lo que aparece en su camino)
Pues el Jueves fui al huerto tarde, después de regar empezaba a anochecer, y así húmedo y oscureciendo es cuando les gusta salir a estas babosas... sin esfuerzo me puse a recolectarlas en una bolsa, fue más eficaz que la cerveza, 74 babosas en menos de media hora, creo que unos dos kilos pesaría al final la bolsa..
Y a la pregunta, qué hice con ellas? paella? sopa? aplastarlas o matarlas? noo... tampoco las eché al huerto vecino ;) Me las llevé lejos hasta un área más urbana y allí en un prado las solté. Si habrán sido la cena de una familia de erizos? eso no lo sabré..
"oh! qué rico huele la cerveza!"
un poco simpáticas parecen..

Last Thursday I went late in the evening to the garden. After working and watering, as the nightfall arrived, many Snugs started to appear in their way to the banquet.. Without effort I collected them. 74 samples in less than half an hour! 
At the question, what I did with them afterwards? nooo I didn't cook them! nooo I didn't throw them to neighbour garden, nooo I didn't squashed them and kill them. At last they didn't look that unfriendly to me. I just took them far away and let them in a green area in the city. If they were the dinner of an hedgehog family? I will never know...

I was totally impressed when I found this baby lizard in one of this walks through Brandenburg! I never saw a lizard in Germany before, and specially this kind of lizard! Searching in google I started thinking it was an "Ocellated Lizard" but it is quite impossible as they live nearly just in Spain and Italy. So it might be the "Lacerta Viridis" which distribution area is more possible (see the tiny spot in East Germany!!).. Anyway I was very happy!

Another day we found even a real snake! Someone said this little one was a Common European Viper, "Vipera berus", but I think it is a Smooth Snake or "Coronella Austriaca" Anyway, I didn't dare to take this one on my hand :P
"Lacerta Viridis" or European Green Lizard (I think)
