November update.

Well done Mrs.Wright and Room 3 for the wonderful Gecko Rocks you painted and sold at the fair they look fantastic and are a great way of  making people aware of how special these creatures are to our environment.

One of your rocks acts as a  welcome to people as when they visit the offices of Landcare Research here in Alexandra so when you come for a visit you can see it yourself.


What's been happening lately?

We have identified 3 new Otago skinks which we named Marcus, Jeremy ( after Mr. Norbury's sons ) and Ross  named after my youngest son who has been helping me take photos sometimes.
Marcus

Jeremy




Ross




I have just finished checking under these artificial covers to do a gecko count.
Here are two questions for you to think about  and have some answers ready for me when you come to visit.
What  science is happening in these pictures and why do you think we are doing this?
HINT look carefully at the detail in each picture
