User's notes

Large rocky outcrop. I have seen Cunningham's skinks here before, but today counted at least seven, all coming out to bask again when they thought I had gone. Two large stout ones, which were too nervous to be photographed, and numerous slimmer, smaller ones of various sizes, sometimes two together on a rock. I saw one grab a butterfly and disappear, too quick for me to photograph.
