Hi everyone,

I've recently returned from 10 days working in the Robinson Range, about an hour north of Meekatharra, in the midwest of WA. I was mainly birding during that time, but got to see a bunch of reptiles up there as well, including 11 lifers (marked with *). The range consists of rocky slopes, and is dominated by Acacia scrubland. Several large clay pans exist in the low-lying areas surrounding the range. Unfortunately I didn't see my much hoped for Strophurus wilsoni, but I hope to return in the autumn for a second look.

Species list:

Geckos
Diplodactylus granariensis rex*
Diplodactylus pulcher
Gehyra variegata
Lucasium wombeyi*
Nephrurus wheeleri cinctus*
Rhychoedura ornata


Skinks
Ctenotus severus
Ctenotus uber*
Egernia depressa*
Eremiascincus richardsonii
Lerista muelleri
Menetia greyii


Dragons
Amphibolurus longirostris
Caimanops amphiboluroides*
Ctenophorus caudicinctus
Ctenophorus reticulatus
Ctenophorus scutulatus*
Tympanocryptis cephala*


Monitors
Varanus gouldii
Varanus panoptes
Varanus tristis


Blind Snakes
Ramphotyphlops hamatus*

Elapids
Brachyurophis approximans*
Parasuta monachus*
Simoselaps bertholdi


Cheers,

Nigel
