Description

Wouldn't you know it. All the times I have been down here with my DSLR looking for these I have never seen them. First time I see them all I have with me is my underwater camera that does not have good zoom so this is the best photo I could get. I do realise that I may not be able to get a species ID from this photo, but one can always live in hope. I also hope that these are not the rainbow skink.

Spotted by the high king tide mark which is at the bottom of the cliff. About 20m up to the top and no gardens or houses within 100m from the top of the cliff.

Next fine sunny day me and the DSLR are going down to get better photos as I saw about 12 in this area sunning themselves.
