Hey guys, just spent a few days up on the Central Coast helping a friend with her honours research on the frogs of that area. Herp activity was surprisingly low compared to this time last year when we saw double what we saw this time but it was still a very enjoyable trip.
Some scenery shots...
One gecko species which is normally prolific is the Southern Leaf Tail (Phyllurus platyrus) but we didn't see any on this trip.
And there are always lots of Lace Monitors (Varanus varius) lurking around.
The highlight of the trip for me was the frogs (but I am biased )
The endangered Stuttering Frog (Mixophyes balbus)
Another favourite frog of mine is the Red Backed Toadlet (Pseudophryne coriacea) seen here guarding its eggs.
Other frogs we encountered were C. signifera, Lech. fletcheri, Lim. peroni, L. citropa, L. fallax, L. phyllochroa, L. wilcoxi and U. fusca.
Hopefully once the weather warms up I'll be able to head back and do more herping!
