Show us who lives in your garden!

[Tipsylama]

There seems to be a "Show us your" thread for almost every other thing, so i thought why not make my own unique one!

Feel free to post pictures of an happy little critter that is taking residence in your garden whether it be Reptile,Bird, Amphibian insect or even a mammal takes some pictures and share them with us here!

I'll kick it off with some Skink pictures!

Blotched blue tongue (Tiliqua nigrolutea)

McCoy's Skink (Anepischetos maccoyi)

Weasel skink(Saproscincus mustelinus)

This big fellah shows up at our kitchen window most nights to feed off the insects that are attracted to the light. If he seems to be doing it a bit tough I will sometimes go out and offer him a couple of crickets which he takes straight out of my hand.

great pic, i love these big boofa's we get a heap of them up here on the mid nth coast, my wife hates them when they decide to set up a racket just after it rains of a night, there songs of happiness are so deep and ethereal

Great to see the critters in people's yards.

I am particularly pleased to see there are still backyard bluetongues in the St.George area of Sydney. I grew upin Peakhurst and went to school at Penshurst and Kogarah. So all of my herp mates were from around there as well. Most of us would get the odd bluetongur move in and take upreidence for a while.
