Three types of Lizard traps have been out in the bush at Rotokare. Two of these- the tree covers and onduline ground traps can stay out all-year round but the pitfall traps need collecting and sorting before being set again next summer.
The pitfall traps are basically old paint cans baited with pear, set in the ground with a slim wooden cover over the top that hopefully any lizards at Rotokare will be attracted to.
On this day we were collecting traps up in the control area and on the bush ridge.
John had fun carrying these back to the carpark!
