Eglinton River-Bathurst

[hodges]

Hello all,

I had a early rise for once and decided to go for a walk down the river so i set of around 8-9 am once i got there the reptiles had already appeared they where mainly Eastern Water Dragons and Water Skinks, i was really after finding some Red Belly Black Snakes or Tiger snakes this task was slipping away each hour went past and no snake, i finally decided to go for a walk along another set of tracks where i found a snake it was a Tiger Snake but the only thing that bugged me it was dead. So then i gave up an went home, i once again thought i shall go back down with my cousin this was around 11-12 midday. Within ten minutes of being there what do we find a another tiger similar to the one i found before but a darker black, i soon grabbed my camera and must of startled him and he shot of deep into the bush.

Should of done a bit of fishing there, the kids where catching massive carp.
