Andrea Harper, Skink on a Stump (ANIMALS 2021)

A lucky capture. I was walking in the Flinders Ranges in a dry gorge and saw this little one sunning itself with its partner. The partner ran away and peeked out of a hole watching, but this one stayed and once I was identified as non threatening, it remained in position soaking up the sun.
