Found in our wild garden, on old sand dunes. It's been decades since we found a frog, but we hear them on drizzly days in the dense thicket. Approx 20 -30mm.

Seen on Half Collared Kingfisher trail

A visual would be nice, frisky fella!

Two healthy patches found on the Northern aspect just below the ridgeline. This one 25-50 plants. Very few invasive alien species.

Young Bitis atropos around a Drosera spp.

It was horribly entangled in nylon fishline. Another death caused by human negligence!

Adult seen flying off nest, the only nightjar so far record here.

Long range low light attempt so am very uncertain about species but happy at Accipiter...

Two seen perched on Pylon

Squacco is the small bird in the middle. Nice to get three types of heron in one shot with Grey at the top and Black-crowned Night-Heron flying past.

Nice pose

I awakened to a loud clattering in the garage and found this visitor, along with an overpowering musky smell. Hope it isn't developing a taste for cheese and salami ...
