Great photos.

For those interested the AHS has a scientific licence which permits (under a whole raft of conditions) members to join these field study trips under the guidance of experienced members. The data gathered is then supplied to OEH ("Parks") -GPS location, weather conditions etc. These photo showcase some of the species encountered. Being able to join such activities is one of the benefits for joining the AHS. Of course members who come along cant divulge location information.

with this being my first field trip with the ahs i would recommend it to anyone. yes you do get to know some fellow members at the pub after the meetings but not as much as a field trip. plus the knowledge you can learn can't be taught in a book.

p.s the stephens banded, golden crown and gecko are my fave pics.
