I cannot find the Field Herping subforum or whatever so i suppose ill just throw this in here?
But anyway, here are some pics from April to about last weekend, which includes trips around my area and around Melbourne, some NSW herps, some North Vic finds, some Grampians Geckos, Some frogs from the peninsula and also some photos from a recent trip to Lake Eildon In eastern Victoria.
Hope you enjoy!
Ill start off with some pics from around mid January that I didn't post in my NSW herping thread.

Amazing shots nick! Good to see the herping threads coming back!
This is hyping me even more for my spring central desert trip!
Keep on herping,

Beautiful shots. You did well to find all those. What is your camera set up? What sort of flash are you using?

Also curious where you found the Thick-tails. Are your talking just north of Bendigo on hill country? Was it rocky habitat?

Thanks!
I have a canon eos 100D with a 100mm macro lens, I have two speedlites on a bracket.
yeah this was north of Bendigo, probably the spot you are thinking of, I was on the farmlands opposite trying to find parasuta nigriceps. Very rocky haha
 
Nice shots Nick! Love the Tussock skinks, pretty awesome!
 
Awesome pics thanks for sharing. I need to get out more and try my luck to get some great pics like that. Instead of just standing there in awe actually use the camera!!haha
