Reminders:

  1. Begin survey at starting point by standing still and looking in your immediate surroundings.

  2. When you see a lizard, refer to your Field Identification Guide to identify the lizard species.

  3. Record the size of the lizard as you see it, before moving on to the next one. Use the data sheet provided to record how many individual lizards of each species and the sizes of these lizards.

  4. After you have made sure that you have recorded all the lizards that you can see, take a few more steps.

  5. Pause and make sure you look around all over – on the ground, on tree trunks, on buildings and up high in the trees! Be sure not to count the same lizards twice!

  6. Continue this process until either you cover all of the survey area or the time reaches 15 minutes. Make sure you record the end time your survey.

  7. After you have completed all surveys (morning, midday and evening) record all habitat data that you can find on the final page of this booklet. It is important that you do this after you look for lizards – if you do it before you may scare off the lizards!



Be careful not to walk too fast, this survey should be done slowly! You can stop briefly to look around between steps.
