Peeking Out Of A Tree Hole

Walked all the way to the summit without finding much animals. After a quick rest under the summit hut, we decided to take the steps back to the main road. But suddenly I noticed a small movement on a tree and moved closer to check out. A skink was peeking out of a hole in the tree.

It was a Brown Tree Skink, a species not that commonly seen. I tried taking more shots but as I moved closer to it, it became aware of my presence and slowly moved deeper into the hole.

I got as close as possible and all I could see was the tip of the head. The hole was pretty high so I could not really get any superb shots. However, I noticed that there was a mosquito on its nose and faster snapped a shot before it retreated its head into the hole.
