Congratulations! See you on tuesday!
One of the commonest toads in Catalonia is the natterjack. However, this year’s lack of abundant rain will make it difficult for this animal to reproduce. At home, my small colony of nattejarks have laid their eggs. This is a picture of a string of eggs laid on the 24th March. At that time, they were five days old and you can see a small layer of algae covering them.
Some four days ago, the little embryos left the eggs and now they’re fully grown miniature tadpoles. I will keep posting pictures of them to see how they grow. If you want to know a bit more about this interesting amphibian, visit the web site for the Societat Catalana d’ Herpetologia.

Ask me during this week’s sessions if you have any questions.
Ja una mica cansat d’ agafar el tren per aixecar-me aviat i tornar a l’ hora de ficar-me al llit, el dissabte decideixo ser insostenible i m’ enfilo cap a Barcelona a sobre de la meva lleial i infatigable Leonardo 250cc.
I finalment cap a casa, això sí, amb una carpeta plena d’ apunts, idees i referències a materials que vull llegir. A part d’ això, el bon record de trobar-me amb antics companys de feina, facultat i oposicions. Dilluns… tornada a les aules.
