I was lucky to join in the day DOC staff came and helped with some Lizard monitoring at the Lake. We did tree cover checks and ground checks at various places throughout the reserve.
The tree covers are large pieces of matting put on tree trunks that lizards may like to live under and the ground checks are 2 squares of onduline on top of each other that lizards may like to take cover between. Other lizard monitors are pitfall traps that were like big paint tins in the ground and they needed to be checked every day for 10 days. Unfortunately no lizards were located but some tracks were found in tracking tunnels.
