G'day all,

Just a quick post regarding the Frog And Tadpole Study group field trip last weekend. It was warm and overcast all day and we got a tiny bit of rain in the arvo.

We got a few frogs but the stars of the night were the reptiles.

Amongst other species we saw several Dwarf Crowned Snakes Cacophis kreftii, A pink tongued skink Cyclodomorphus gerrardi, a blind snake Ramphotyphlops nigrescens and a stunning young Stephens Banded Snake Hoplocephalus stephensii

Here's a few pics.

Great pics, where abouts did u go? love the Stephens banded !
 
yer definately wanna come to the strickland trip. do you have to book that one or can you just turn up cause I dont wanna book and take up 2 places then not be able to get there because I might be working, which means 2 people could have gone but missed out

edit, woops I didnt see my first post. forgot I had already posted
 
ryan, you have to book, and if you find out that you cant go, ring the day before to say that you cant come. if there is a waiting list, the co-ordinator will offer your spots to the next in line.

was a great night, stephens was the highlight, and the kreftii were great 'swell

cheers

I want to see a dwarf crowned snake. Do you reckon they'll still be there? Where did this field trip take place?

Well done Neph. Thats some handy photography youv'e done there. May i ask what camera you used and what lenses you used as those are some ripper pics.

Looks like a Nikon D70s with a Tamron 90mm lens. Judging by the angle of the shadow, I'd say there's an SB-600 flash sitting on top of the camera, but I'm not 100% sure (might be an SB-800 dialed down).

lovely photos, Henry. I especially llike the shot of the Pink-tongue. Mine always end up with too much glare so your diffuser (I assume that you were using it) must work well.

Regards,
David
