A population of a rare lizards has been found in a back garden in Central Hawke's Bay.
It's the first time the Hawke's Bay Skink has been found in the area, with the only other known population inside the predator-proof fence at Cape Sanctuary.
A lounge of these lizards, yes that's the collective noun, has been spotted in a blackberry bush in Waipawa.
Kate Green paid them a visit.
