User's notes

Lampropholis (but I have a lot of difficulty trying to distinguish between delicata and guichenotii). This was a young skink, only about 45 mm in total length. In the vege garden when I was turning over the soil.

Also worth noting that some of the white flecking is from powdery mildew that was infesting the zucchini plants that I had just pulled from that part of the garden.
