been at Noosa the past 10 days for a holiday , went herping quite a bit, - mostly at the np at the top of hastings street,... but bloody hell, its PACKED with people jogging and walking, which made finding things nearly impossible!
though i did ok,
e.tenuis was the most common herp there, found sitting on big trees with loose bark it could retreat into. most of the time these were hanging around trees on the path, and would let you get pretty close to them.
Bar sided skink - Eulamprus tenuis
i saw a couple of land mullets on the walk, but they would flee as soon as i got my camera out - mostly by other people jogging by, though not far from the beach one day i found this guy (majors skink), i found him while i was on a wooden bridge, so i had to lie down on it to get pics (while people were jogging over me haha), he started eating something it found under a leaf but im not sure what it was?
Major Skink - Bellatorias frerei
I saw a couple of lively skinks, most werent in good condition so i didnt photograph them, but this guy was a nice one so i got a pic of him
male Lively Skink - Carlia vivax
i could hear a few fallax calling there and than, but could never find one ... that was untill i stumbled across this pond !, quite a few fallax there, and im VERY PLEASED with how some shots came out !
Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog - Litoria fallax
(my fave pic)
talk about CUTE photobombing !
on the way back i found this perons tree frog in a tree,
Peron's Tree Frog - Litoria peronii
that night me and my dad went for a walk to my old hotel (which had some bushland around it,) and we stumbled across my faveourite find, a pink tongue !!, he was to bitey to get him into a good position, before it ran under a tree
Pink Tongued Skink - Cyclodomorphus gerrardii
Saw a couple of striped marsh frogs, and im really dissapointed with how the pics of them turned out, (they jumped away as soon as they got a chance and dissapeared in the leaf litter)
Striped Marsh Frog - Limnodynastes peronii
we went to my uncles farm in Calbooture, he used to find heaps of herps on his farm (7 snake species!), but all have been hardly seen now thanks to cane toads :evil:, so yeah, that night we killed a few off
under one of his bins i found the tiny skink, really hard to get photos of coz its so small !
Scute-Snouted Calyptotis - Calyptotis scutirostrum
so yeah was a good trip, had alot of mates there so we went to the beach everyday
god, i reallllly need a macro lens !!!
