Eastern Blue tongue lizard

This Eastern Blue tongue lizard, one of Our best Aussie Icons, was not too impressed when his morning bask in the sun was interrupted for this photo shot? This shot was taken in a small woodland patch near Murrurundi in the Upper Hunter region of NSW, AU.

    Amazing- he looks very proud of his blue tongue.
    Have you ever seen or seen movies of the birds: Blue-footed Boobies? They flash those big blue webbed feet and look at them, and wave them at their friends like the blue feet are the most wonderful things on the Earth. Probably are, come to think of it- to the ownders, anyway.

  • Steve Sass replied

    These guys are the best! I always look for them when I am in Auz…. people tell me they have seen them in the gardens but i never find one : (

    What a pose!

  • Steve Sass replied

    thanks Nic! Yes, they are reasonably widespread, but at times, difficult to find. Give me a BM next time you are ‘down under’ and we might be able to arrange a photo opportunity?
