Field Notes

Notes:

Pollution from the drain that spills onto their habitat causes all the lizards around that small watering hole to turn reddy-orange. I have included a picture of the water to show you exactly what they're living in. Something needs to be done about this!

If you look at the other folder I have of Eastern Water Dragons, you'll notice a completely different colouring, however all these dragons are all located in the one 100-200m area and all the pictures were taken on the same day. The other dragons just happen to live a bit further down at a clean water source.
