We are supposed to be going to Goat Island tomorrow but the report on SeaFriends for today says it's crap. So it could be the excuse I need to go and see the lizards. It is one of my 'holiday things' to go to Goat Island when the kids have gone back to school so I get the snapper almost to myself :oops:

A selection of the photos I took yesterday – well worth a visit

Off topic but interesting: this wasp was dragging this huge spider somewhere. Click thumbnail for short movie.

2 horny turtles ramming a female who was apparently oblivious. The hills rang with the sound of shells knocking

Alligator. Also spotted here was a baby skink trying to get into the alligator enclosure, rather than out of.

Lizards galore

I recommend going a little later in the morning when the sun is high, as on the way in there are some gecko and skink displays and they were quite hard to find. We got there at 11am or so and could only see a few but nearly an hour later on the way out the sun was brighter and more of them were out sunbathing in the tops of the bushes.

We saw another wasp with exactly the same sort of spider on another bush walk too, creepy
