Some recent herping I have been doing, Most of it is from but not restricted to Glenrock, I also had the pleasure of meeting Stephen (Geckphotographer) to do some of my herping with! Thanks so much mate! I realy learnt alot being with you! I would appreciate any feed back or criticism to some of my info or photographs.
I'll start with the Lizards...
The common Amphibolurus Muricatus, These guys I have found to like coastal heath and Dry Eucalyptus (Mainly in cleared spaces with low shrubs mind you) You will normaly see them perched on low branches or fallen logs from my experiance... Howevery I was surprised to find as in the case of Pic #1 rather high above me on a dead tree.
Another common species but they still strike me as a very interesting species...Physignathus Lesueurii Lesueurii I find them normaly to inhabit most habitats but are usualy associated with water though not always. I'm afraid this is not a great shot because I see them so much I can't realy be bothered photographing them.
Varanus Varius, unfortunately I haven't been able to get any good shots of these at all because they are alway either climbing up trees or walking through the bush.. oh well these will have to do. These guys I have always found in Dry Eucalyptus.
Belatorius Major, I found this guy with Dan40d (thanks for showing me that walk you are an amazing photographer and I realy admire you and I found tonnes of land mullets on the walk with you since... I'll have to catch up with you soon) These guys prefer a cooler climate (I won't say damp although often they are asociated with rainforesty-type places) I normaly find them in patches of sun between the shadows of trees.
And probably my best find was this Pygopus lepidopus!! Found this guy with Stephen.
I have a also found a yellow faced whip snake... of cause it was the day that I forgot the memory card for the camera, also found a RBB that shot off into some bracken too quickly to get a shot.
Now the frogs
Litora Fallax, common nearly every where and are usualy sitting on reeds or other vegetaion by the water.
Litora Peroni, If you find L. Fallax these guys are'nt normaly far away, To get these shots I had to wade into filthy, Muddy, Dirty water Well above the knees, Was it worth my discomfort Lol?
Litora Wilcoxi, found these with steven also, Very common On the rocks by moving water.
I don't particularly like the rest of these photos but oh well I'll cough them up any way
Crinia Signifera, Also found with Steven, you here more than you see with these guys, They inhabit nearly any place imaginable lol. Bad pic unfortunately.
And last but not leas Adeletus Brevis
Cheers,
Jordan
