Its funny when you get those moments when your alone in the bush and all is still and then you notice something which causes you to go 'holy crap batman' (well thats the PG version anyway). It was funny afterwards, but I almost walked face first into this dude who was cruising on a low lying branch at my head height, I think we were equally surprised 🙂
So, after several expletives I pulled the camera out and like a true star, he sat there for a few minutes while I could get a shot of him.. cheers cheeky lizard…

I know what you mean. I came across the blue-tongued version a few weeks ago. The stains still haven't come out of my under-daks!
Great capture! And the scene described above was to be a hoot!!! Thank you very much for sharing this +Gerard Blacklock Very very beautiful… I love it 🙂
+Graham Hartle
lol.. that made me chuckle…the thing with blue tongues is that its easy to think they are a snake when partially obscured..and they do give a nasty bite 🙂

Seeing it in the iPad now… What gorgeous markings.
He is frozen in fear. In opposite reaction to you he maybe locked up for a week.
Great capture mate! Who needs drop bears lol! He does look a little startled. It's almost like he's telling himself 'I'm invisible, he can't see me'! 😉
Amazing shot!
beautiful shot, amazing
So Amazing !
Great image, Gerard! I hate to think of how many times I've walked right past an image because my head was in the clouds, or elsewhere!

I reckon we have all done that – i reckon you only ever see 2% of what is really out there, which is in some ways comforting but also scary :-/
