Sightings 2012
This should not be viewed as a list of Denmarks first herptile observations.
My list only cares about photo documentations.
There may have been earlier undocumented observations by herpetologists or common people that i don't know of.
The list is only for the purpose of my own personal knowledge and amusement.
Sources: Danish forums, nature portals, invironmental websites and personal acquaintances.

There is a documented picture with a Bufo bufo taken even earlier, it's found on F & N. But I did not
think the image qualified; since the animal obviously had been disturbed to awake from it's hibernation.
