Winter herping, Vic

[jordo]

Well things have settled right down in the field herping forum so I thought I'd post a few of the critters I've still been able to find in the cold weather (nothing special but there isn't much to see at the moment).

Crinia signifera

Litoria ewingi, 3 colour variations at the one small pond

Geocrinia victoriana

Saproscincus mustelinus

Lampropholis guichenoti

Pseudemoia entrecastauxii

Parasuta flagellum

Austrelaps superbus

With the cold weather I've had to pay a bit more attention to the feathered reptiles to keep busy (all photographed from the comfort of my bedroom).
Yellow faced honey-eater

Red wattle bird

New holland honey-eater

Eastern spinebill

From your room ey?? Lucky duck!
All i see from my room is an old vicious boxer (neighbours) who likes to scare my mum when she hangs out the washing

Noooo birds are the dark side, you may never come back if you go to far. :O Just spend winter planning all the great summer trips you will do.

Nice shots in the middle of winter... the Lampropholis still looks like he's just waking up! How lucky to have all those birds from your window; all I see are Indian Mynas.

Hi Greg, I do edit my photos for sharpness, but there's no need to post "good copies" on the net.
The garden outside my window is planted with native a Correa, Grevillea and a nice running postman that's just coming into flower so the nectar feeders love it.

Yes definitely, love the tongue flick.

Jordo,
That was a good collection of shots from the winter. The Little Whip was particularly nice.

Regards,
David
