First of our lizard signs funded by Electranet has been installed! These will be at the entrances to the long term sleepy lizard site, started by C. Michael Bull, surveyed continuously since 1982. Very grateful that an energy company cared enough to make this happen. @GerrutN

Sometimes fieldwork throws up unexpected findings - this is what faced PhD student in the LEGS lab, Kim Michael. Apparently endangered pygmy bluetongues can hold their breath – for a long time. This one stayed under for 40 mins!! See @Austral_Ecology
