It felt right

[Fuscus]

It just felt right.
The radar showed a strong storm front and it was hot and humid. So Tuesday nights herping was moved forward a night.
Boy, was that a good move, in the first 500 meters I got a BTS and two SES. But better was yet to come as shown below.

Interestingly while trying to photo the last snake a bloke a bloke in a ute pulled up and said "that's a little Stephens" ( which it was ). What a pleasant change from the normal "kill, kill, kill, shovel, shovel, shovel" response I normally get.

As it was so hot and humid the animals were very uncoopertive.

Then it didn't feel right.

So I u-turned and headed home. By the timeI got out of the forest there was a gale blowing and it was pounding all sorts of animals. Took longer to get home as the highway was a river andd I was only game to occasionally reach 80 kph.

What a great night.

Good stuff! I might go tomorrow, forecast is the same as today.
Got the edge of the storm here, was hoping to get hammered but there's always tomorrow night!

Good stuff! I might go tomorrow, forecast is the same as today...

Strongly recommended - If it feels the same I'll go out again tomorrow ( wife will properly kill me though)

 

[Fuscus]

Hmmm, conditions are looking good for another trip tonight

Looks like fun. It has already cooled at night here in the 'Gong so not much good for night driving.

Your Bandy-bandies were very nice ... always pleasant to see.

Regards,
David

Could go herping tonight - wife threatened to do two things ( the first was to sew them back on:shock, but if conditions remain like this tomorrow is the go

Was having an day off with the missus yesterday down at Surfers...was surprised to see a juvenile Bandy Bandy dead in the carpark right near Cavill...those things will live anywhere!

I wanted to go, but didn't get home till after 7, plus a good storm hit my usual spot dropping 43mm of rain, and the temp dropped to 17*c, must have hailed, by the time I got there everything would have packed up.

Did you get any pics of the Stephens?

 

[jordo]

Nice pics, out of all the bandy bandys I've had I've never seen one loop, maybe I've got to piss them off a bit more :lol:
