I went for a wander down towards the creek in our backyard this morning, after the warm weather and rain the grass could use a cut and it was to that end (more or less - tending towards less) that I ventured down. It is an overcast and humid day and down near the creek I found this lizard (the more knowledgeable may correct me but I think it is an Eastern Water Dragon) enjoying the occasional bit of sunshine. If there was not so much painting to be done I may have joined him in enjoying lazing about doing nothing much (instead I am blogging....)
The photo above shows he is not actually sleeping at all but I think watching me, not that I appeared to be a threat I presume because he did not move at all even though I was within 2 metres of him.
It is a great place to live! We have something digging in our backyard at night and I wonder if that may be a bandicoot even though I do not think I have seen one for over thirty years. At the zoo they told us they are making a comeback in some areas in the city - I hope here.
Hi Judy and Phil, Can't think of anything nicer than stretching out on a comfortable log in the sun. I hope the bandicoots are making a come back. We used to see lots back in the Dundas days. Love to you.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wouldn't mind a bit of a laze in the sun instead of more shivering at a snowy bus stop! xxx R
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing sight! Let us know if you spot a bandicoot.
