Critters, Crawlies, anything that sat still long enough for me to focus on it...

Butcher Bird

This Butcher Bird came right up to me while I was walking around Kangaroo Point a few weeks ago (same time as Succulent Lizard). I suspect he was used to getting fed by passers-by on their lunch breaks, alas I had nothing for him but some attention.

Lizard living at Kangaroo Point, Brisbane (Aust). Essentially directly across the river from the "Distrust" Lizard, taken about a week later. They are both Eastern Water Dragons or Physignathus leseuerii, as kindly pointed out to me by Alexander Dudley who has a website loaded with great photo's of Australian native animals.
