This skink was found during the day under debris near the entrance to Waitamo Cave, south of Hamilton in northern New Zealand.

A skink I rescued from one of our neighbours' cats in our garden. By the look of its regrown tail, this isn't the first close call its had.

Under rock

Found on rocks by the roadside.

One of several similar skinks on a (sunny) north facing rock wall. about 10cm long

Under some treated half-round sleepers which were lying on bark chips in a young native garden in the afternoon sun.

While lots of skinks were out sunbathing later in the afternoon, just this one keen individual was out on this cool morning.

Pleased to find our first skink here today while planting out a new area. Next job will be to build some retreats for them.

We came across this recently deceased skink on the footpath while out walking today. It is in a semi rural setting with paddocks etc around. Approximate location.

rocky area beyond northern end of the Conservation area

Fairly large as skinks go.
