    I so enjoyed the photos of Glendann's lizard eating insects on the Passion vine that I decided to look for my lizard family that I spotted in my garden.

    As for wildlife in my garden: at the moment the visible wildlife is as follows:

    "Wild-life" chasing my poor lizard family.

    the hunt is definitely on.

    I wonder, did the tactics change from hunting to gardening?

    [​IMG]

    Nope, wishful thinking on my part. the hunt is still on. Little Snoopy gave up though.

    and this is my big baby - she is a 33 kg German Shepherd named LP which is short for Little Pan.

    Your dogs are so cute! Definitely the kind of wild life any gardener would be proud to have around. Ashame the lizard family remained in hiding. Hopefully you'll capture a shot of them soon!

    Your dogs look like their very busy hunters. Sorry they didn't find your lizards. There's always a next time.

    Gee thanks everyone

    I do not know which is best my wildlife hunting or gardening.
    With hunting they are all over
    With gardening they sit on plants if they get bored watching me weed the garden.

    The lizards here are rather 'tiny' as they grow to about 10 to 12 cm in length. I have not seen any bigger ones here. Maybe because we live in town.
