Mischief Managed
For the past few days, whenever I stepped outside to go feed the birds, I've heard a slight scurrying sound in one of the garden areas at the entrance of my patio. But wasn't able to see the culprit.
Having seen snakes about, and even a few tiny anoles, I was worried about one, and hopeful about the other. Today, I heard the scurrying again when going out to feed the birds. However, this time I spotted what was making the noise. At first I panicked until I saw those tiny little legs! Whew! A little SKINK!
It didn't move, so either it was frozen with fear, or had finally decided I wasn't too much of a threat. I raced for the camera, and it was still there. I grabbed some shots at a distance, but only a few because I didn't want to bother it too much.
