Field Notes

Description:

A tiny probably new born skink about 30 mm long. It looked very glossy with a silvery sheen. The head looked big relative to the rest of the body. There appeared to be a slight bulge over each eye !

Notes:

This little skink was hurrying across a paved part of our backyard towards a bush /shelter. He moved quite fast for his size and age.
I could not get close enough to him to get a better shot..
