    easiest way is to grow native cover and food plants and make your yard cat proof

    Got all that just cant keep the cats out lol.

    I got a big bird bath out the front and the cats hide under it in the plants and then pounce on them might have to plant something thorny under it.

    My backyard isn't very exciting, few skinks and marbled geckos.
    I think this one is a weasel skink?

    Recently had a big RBB basking but it vanished before I found the camera

    We have blindsnakes in the compost and lots of yellow faced whipsnakes cruising through once the weather warms up

    We have heaps of wildlife coming into our yard after we redesigned it to make it more wildlife friendly.Here's some pics but there are many more species to date.
