Our first Eastern Blue-tongue Lizard of the season appeared in the yard yesterday. These are the largest member of the skink family. They are good to have around as they eat snails and such. Sadly, I wasn't able to get a shot with its tongue showing: maybe next time. :)

I shall be away for about a week. It's likely that I will have little internet access, so please don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a bit.
