Some random pics from some fieldwork and just herping trips.
Whilst out grampians way I conned my friend to drop me off for a couple of hours of herping. it was raining the whole time. Whoops.

In January I was lucky enough to assist on a field nats trip to the Mornington Peninsula to look at Swamp Skinks.
We caught only one over 5 or 6 sites, but the day was rather warm!

Although the survey was over, we stopped on the way home to check out an area in the Western Port region. We got some juvenile Glossy grass and Southern grass skinks, but this big (and ugly) boy was a gem.

Recently I went out to help my mate Dave detect new sites where Litoria fallax are breeding in around Melbourne, and we found several new populations. Alas, all the sites were on private property . We did find this big boy though.

If you are ever back in South East Queensland herping and need an assistant I would happily be available!

Awesome work as per usual Nick.

@Scutellatus Cheers man! I badly want to get back up there, the hinterland has so much and also the Brigalow looks awesome!

What lens did you use? Those are some crisp, clear close-up shots!
You have really great photos. You might wanna have your own photography website. If not, I highly recommend the hPage.com website builder. You can create a free website there first to check it out. The paid package is very cheap and affordable as well. Their gallery slideshow feature is good for photo sets like yours.

@snaketay I use a Canon Ef 100mm f/2.8 macro USM lens for pretty much all of my shots. Only close enough
