Lamington

[slacker]

Went on a little day trip to Lamington with a couple of other members of this site, yesterday. Not too impressed with a lot of my shots (I'm sure you'll see some better ones from the other members soon!), but I thought I'd post them up anyway.

Not entirely sure what the following one is. I'm leaning towards spectabilis over rosei, but skinks are definitely not my thing. Although these ones are quite cute, imo.

First spinipes we found:

And the second (and final) spinipes we found:

This isn't an exhaustive list of what we found. The others have more photos

We found more than those pictured above, including a couple of decent sized coastals, land mullets and some obscure skink the others were happy to find, but which did not excite me in the slightest (in fact, I didn't even bother to photograph it).

Commonly?!?? Either way, you have a very nice pic of it. Those short-limbed, fossorial skinks are hard to photograph because they tend to lie flat on the surface.

And you need to put species names with your pics!!

Did better than I expected, to be honest. I don't generally find much when walking. Probably because my version of walking is at a much slower pace and for much smaller distances than those I was with :lol:

Find any E. tryoni or just the murrayi?

Skinks are an acquired taste slacker
you'll learn to love them kinda like beer.

I don't like beer either ;-)

E. tryoni were there too, among other things that I was even less excited about.

Photographs were pretty darn good (my opinion of bad is when you cant see the animal) good job some nice animals you found there
