One larger animal which scampered away, this one was considerably smaller.... Could possibly be a family group? :).

Hi -I put out Flyers to HGW members to tell them what is in the park. Can I ask you if i can use the photo of the skink - it would be credited to you Ruth

Happy for you to use this image, sorry I couldn't get a better one :). I suspect that there are more species reptiles living in and around Hughes Garan woodland than are documented on Canberra nature map. I have found evidence of L.guichenoti (common garden skink) and T.scincoides (eastern blue tongue lizard) recently. In previous years I have also come across C.Robutus (robust striped skink), P.barbata (eastern bearded dragon) and P. textilis (eastern brown snake) though i assume the these three are vagrants from red hill nature reserve :).
