Notes
Just a Tail for a voucher, as it thought that these Skinks are extinct from this area, due to Argentina Ants..
This is the 5th sighting by me in this location in 20 years. The Ant numbers seem to be down from the lack of rainfall.
I would end up seeing 3 on this day, after only seeing 2 the previous 20 years.
All of these 5 of theses sightings have come from a very small area.
