Did Rottnest Island today:
Birds:
559) Black-browed Albatross
560) White-fronted Chat
561) Red-capped Robin
562) Banded Stilt
563) Rock Parrot
564) Southern Giant Petrel
565) Australasian Gannet
566) Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross
Mammals:
64) Quokka
65) Humpback Whale
Herps:
19) King Skink
I thought that may have been the last Australian update from the year, but I just saw a skink just outside my house which I have managed to identify thanks to the 'Skinks Of The Perth Region' app.
20) Fence Skink (Cryptoblepharus buchananii)
(Note: I am hoping to be able to add a few of the herps that I didn't manage to identify from Kenya later this year when I buy the Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of East Africa. Hopefully that will add five or more new species)
