User's notes

saw an Eastern Yellow Robin (listed separately) feeding what looked like a baby Yellow-bellied Water-skink to it's youngster, shortly after they had flown off these 2 Yellow-bellied Water-skinks appeared on the same deck area and appeared to be looking around, perhaps it was their youngster. Are they like Cunningham Skinks that live together in a family? We have not seen a family of these before but have seen 2 close together and others of a similar size on rocks near each other but not a baby one.
