Hey everyone,

Went for a quick drive along a few back roads around where i live this morning. It was only about 17 degrees when i was out there, so i wasn't expecting to see much. I ended up doing better than what i thought! Nothing too special, but still always good to see this amount of animals out and about.

First was this Eastern Bearded - This one was just sunning itself on a termite mound next to the road.




Next was this nice Eastern Beardy - I could see him from a good distance away with his head and tail up in the air, but by the time i got there he had lowered to the ground.



Next i came across this beautiful Eastern Blue Tongue - just cruising across the road when i pulled up.




Then about 2 minutes later, i saw this little guy come out from the edge of the road - Shingleback




Then another Eastern Beardy - I was able to get right next to him for a couple of photos, then he ran up a nearby tree.




As i was just about to head back into town i spotted this little guy on a old fence post - Cunninghams Skink



Just as i was about to turn in my driveway i saw something further up the road that looked similar to what i had seen earlier.. Yep another Eastern Beardy.




I'm heading out to Western NSW to one of my favourite spots in a couple of weeks, so i'll have a lot more photos of a lot more animals when i get back from that day trip.

Cheers
Dan

nice finds and thanks for sharing , i have been having trouble finding stuff in the bush near my place , i think the main reason is it was hit by fire a few weeks ago . The temp here has really picked up today and is supposed to get into the 30's on sunday :) im going to check out some bush around northpine dam to see whats out and about .

cheers nico
