I love the blue-tongue lizards and this female was meditating near the path and disinclined to be concerned about the human creature snapping photos. They have a lovely pattern and cool little feet.

Blue tongue lizards are part of the skink family and are pretty common in most parts of Australia, in fact this one is called the Common Eastern Blue-tongued Lizard. They are docile and friendly and this very pregnant female had no qualms about approaching the family as we sat in the shade of a pandanus tree at Serenity Beach. I think she was attracted by the food as we were eating rice cakes and she walked right into our midst where she sat on a vacated towel and proceeded to eat up any scraps the grand-kids had dropped. How can you not adore that neat little foot with the lovely pattern.

On a walk around Narrabeen Lagoon on the northern beaches of Sydney my daughter and I were heartened to see baby blue-tongue lizards like this one hiding inside logs or sunning themselves on piles of leaves. This is great because in the surrounding suburbs the babies … and adults for that matter.. usually fall victim to cats, dogs and destruction of habitat so Jamieson Park provides a nice tract of natural bushland for them to retreat to.
If your interested in lizards here are a few earlier posts.

Its the first day of Spring today and it was fitting that I saw the first ‘of the warmer weather’ blue tongue lizards this week nestled into the grass by the creek on the way to the beach. Even better she was very pregnant and we can expect to see her babies out and about before too long.
