In the Grass

Mustard Bellied Snake (Elapognathus rhodogaster). These tiny snakes grow to only about 30cm long - this appeared to be a young one, it was somewhat shorter than full size and less than 10mm thick (compare it against the lawn). It did not show any signs of aggression so my neighbour picked it up on a shovel, put it in a bucket, and we released it back in the nearby nature reserve. They are categorised as only 'mildly venomous'. Second shot in note.

Night Raid

Some of the stream of many hundreds of Grey Headed Flying Foxes (fruit bats) that cross our sky each summer evening in late dusk, heading out searching for their food of fruit and nectar. During the day they roost in a large colony some kilometers away. Notes show the colony in daytime and one of the bats 'relocating' itself during the day. Explored

Up in the highlands, where deciduous trees are more common, the changing autumn colours are beginning to show. For those interested in the tech stuff, I now have updated my 'article' on the new camera. HFF!

Australian Fur Seal

This Australian Fur Seal ( Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus ) was resident in Mallacoota Inlet, I gather it had been living there for some time. It certainly was very relaxed at being near photographers shooting furiously, and was lazily floating around in circles doing the sidestroke. Second shot in the note.

Our Local Bluetongue

Bluetongues are very good garden residents, as they include garden pests such as snails and slugs in their diet.

The Dragon on the Wonga Wonga on the Fence

This is the Wonga Wonga vine growing along our side fence. Recently, to my surprise, there was a moderately large Gippsland Water Dragon sitting motionless among it, trying hard not to be noticed. Happy Fence Friday!. PS. These are reasonably timid (though they do become accustomed to people) and live mainly on insects.
