Hey Dave,

Nice pics mate stunning little elderi....its hard to explain how pretty they are till you see them in the flesh!!

The Ctenotus above the Lerista is C. regius

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks everyone for their kind words. I am glad that the post was enjoyed.

Thanks, Scott, for correcting the Ctenotus id. I find them to be a difficult genus.

Schlumpe, I use a Canon 40D and mostly, a 90mm Tamron macro.

Here are a few more pics:

N. laevis -- one of the darkest that I have ever seen.

Another shot of the Jewelled:

Flowering spinifex.

More habitat shots:

Rainbow Bee-eater

This Ctenotus has me confused as well. Does anyone know whether it a young Ctenotus saxatilis or yet another species?

Thanks,
David

Very nice shots!, the seed like beetle is also known as a pie-dish beetle

Thanks for the beetle info, omg.

Scott,
The skink was foraging around a fallen tree at the base of this dune:

Thanks, cracsinthepitch. I love to get out as much as possible (as much as my wife will let me!).


Regards,
David
