Although usually green, it can be brown (like this one), blue or almost black.

Dinner desserts at Karawa

Hugh and Keira and I joined Jayshree and Peter at the Karawa Training Restaurant.
It was a good night and the food was great, especially the deserts!

Birds in the carpark

I saw Rufous-banded Honeyeaters (Conopophila albogularis) and Double-barred Finches (Taeniopygia bichenovii) near my car.

Seen together

I had not seen the Curlews as a pair all week, so was delighted this morning when this one came running towards me hissing.

Our porch companions

There are always at least half a dozen of these geckos on our front porch.
