Herping: another adventure less than a day from Sydney

[Nephrurus]

G'day all,

I've been lucky enough to spend the last week or so in Yengo NP where we came across some pretty neat critters. Nothing amazing, but any herp is nice to see in the wild.

I was up there for none herping, but i still managed to see 29 herptile species and about 80 bird species. We also spotlighted greater gliders and sugar gliders (also some macropod sp.).

Carlia tetradactyla

Litoria latopalmata were everywhere.

Mountain dragon Rankinia diemensis

Ornate burrowing frog Opistodon ornatus (i think i got the spelling right)

Limnodynastes dumerili

Crinia signifera

Litoria wilcoxi

Underwoodisaurus milli

Litoria peroni calling

Uperolia fusca

Litoria verreauxi.

Uperolia laevigata



all the best,

Yes, they were in "amplexus".

We had a bit of rain while i was up there and the frogs started calling like mad.

Yeah, like the Shire

The shire has few redeeming features. One is some good herping places. The other is that with a few well placed charges, it can be excommunicated from Australia, sending it to drift to New Zealand.
