Moorynia

So I just spent the majority of my reading break on a field trip in Moorynia national park. I was some of the best days of my life. We surveyed most of the vertebrate fauna: we did pit fall / funnel traps and active seaches for reptiles, Eliot traps for small mammals, mist netting / visual surveys for birds as well as the less galmourous surveys like vegetation and counting kangaroo poo. we found sooooo many things that i don't have pictures of yet, though we should be getting a site to put them all on to share. but these what i have thus far: Oh and I posted my rainforest pics too so look down a post

Black headed python

My fav: Speckled brown snake - VERY venomous

Story, we were checking the funnels/pitfalls and i picked up the funnel and Brett (the reptile guy) pointed out what was either a leggless lizard or snake, and it turned out to be ~70cm brown snake, wooooooo!

this is the snake still in the funnnel

Another fav: another deadly elaipid - Curl snake in our pit fall

This is a Burton's leggesss lizard, looks like a snake eh?
Mist netting: double barred finch

juvenille yellow-plumed honey eater

holding up a Delicate mouse
really cool: short tailed mouse, not previously known to occur in this area

The rest are jsut pictures from around where we stayed

Hopefully we'll have some new pics, but for now ill just put up some google pics of some other stuff:

Planigale - very small marsupial

Lots of these guys - Morethia boulengeri

And two of these: Stimson's python:

And the last I'll put up for now: bearded dragon - sold as pets alot, but we caught in the wild:

So that's the end of my feidl trips for now. back to getting class work done. wednesday is ANZAC day and we are FINALLY going ot see Xavier Rudd, im soooooo excited!
