An adult male Eastern Water Dragon perched on a concrete wall. Part basking, part occupying his territory. This photo shows the front half of the lizard, head tilted up to better display his throat colouring, which has faded a bit since breeding season. He's a green-grey colour with yellow-lined black patches. His back has wide black patches and short grey spikes, to give the impression of larger spikes than he really has. Two Rainbow Bee Eaters perched on a stick. They are looking intently in opposite directions, searching for flying insects which they'll hunt. There's a dirt embankment behind them (where they have a nesting hole). Two Little Corellas (medium sized white cockatoos with yellow underwings), facing each other. The left one is meekly sitting on the branch, the right one has its beak open and wings spread wide. Two Little Corellas at the top of a palm tree. One is perched on a palm leaf stem (devoid of actual leaves) and has turned hits head upwards to angrily screech at another corella passing close overhead. This is his palm stalk, thank you very much.
