Look closely next time you hear a tiny rustle in your garden, there might be something interesting in the undergrowth. I am a life-long naturalist/ecologist and find the antics of the Penny lizards, (Lampropholis delicata) captivating.
They are one of our most common reptiles here in suburban Lake Macquarie, and a really interesting and often over-looked reptile. These are fully-grown adults at about 7 cm long.
At the time of shooting (late April 2018), we are over-run with this years' surviving crop of hatchlings, which are tiny, endearing little beasties about 1/3rd the size of the adults. See THIS post for more. I'll try and shoot some footage of them in the next video.
