Today's visitor in the frangipani tree, now denuded of leaves, is this frill necked lizard - I saw it from the house, to give you a measure of its size, and I rushed down to get a closer look. Little green tree snake was sunning itself, by the pool, while this elegant gentleman with ruffles was making his way up the tree. This is one of Australia's most distinctive lizards, large (you can say that again ) scaly, it has a ruff around its neck and when it gets annoyed it lifts the ruff up like one of these middle age personalities from Black Adder !
Oh I just wonder what tomorrow will bring !
