User's notes

I think this is a Lampropholis, but not sure which species. Two, emerging in the sun in a suburban garden. Location is a residential garden, within 250m of co-ordinates. Property owner wishes it to be kept hidden.

Great photos. It would be good to get records of what skinks are in people's gardens.
