My first encounter with the monitor lizards in the park... It was lying motionless, sunbathing along the path... As this was the first monitor lizard specimen I came across, I spent a good 20 minutes or so taking pictures of it from various angles and distances, and trying out various camera settings etc... only to disciver that this 1st specimen was merely a puny (small and skinny ! ) representation of the numerous monitor lizards (as you'll soon see) to be found in the park... sigh...

The shingleback Lizard is a slow-moving, heavily built lizard with scales resembling those of pine cones, occurring in arid regions of Australia. This guy was strolling across the road today and we had to re-direct him so he didn't become road kill. Once they hit the bushes they are gone, great camouflage.

Gefunden in der Plastikbox mit den Waschmitteln. Offenbar hatten sich die beiden Eidechsen in die Garage geschlichen, als wir nicht da waren, und konnten sich dann nicht mehr aus der Plastikbox retten.

Western fence lizard. This one was fairly cooperative in holding still.

This lizard hangs around the local playground an is one of my favorite macro "targets". Here I've finally caught him with my new 105 Micro Nikkor AF-S and it appears that his head is about to start moulting (i.e. the outer skin/scales pealing off).

Oriental garden lizard

seated on a hedge or bush, with the tail and limbs black,

head and neck yellow picked out with red, and the rest of

the body red.these bright, changeable colours are peculiar

to the male during the breeding-season, which falls in the

months of May and June.one of those fine variations of colours,

which, however, appear to be infinite.Although they have teeth,

these are designed for gripping prey and not tearing it up.

So prey is swallowed whole,They discourage intruding males by

brightening their red heads and doing "push-ups".

This Granite Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus orcutti) had little patience for me or my macro lens.
