A magnificent specimen: probably just under 2 metres long (judging from length of snake compared to width of standard-width pathway). It moved from west to east, emerging from long grass and shrubs on one side and disappearing under cover in long grass on the other.
Resident: seen before in this location by me and by others.

This skink is so consistently seen at this location that he might as well have a postal address! Final two photos are panned back to show landscape context/ habitat; the skink IS still visible in both if you zoom in.

A small family group - at least five or six birds - precariously surviving in a precariously-surviving narrow strip of grass 'hedge' at the edge of an area of woodland that has recently been thinned and stripped out and mostly transformed into noisy miner habitat.. only. Memo to 'landscape managers': this TINY patch of (non-native) grass 'hedge' is currently NOT 'superfluous to requirements' - it is critical, occupied, functional red-backed fairywren habitat!... part of a bare handful of similar rags and patches of preferred habitat that are sustaining the fairywrens of 7th Brigade park.
