Isn't he cute!........

Hubby got a 'new toy' today, a Nikon P520, and he wanted to take a few test shots. We took the girls out for a walk, saw them react rather 'jumpily' and I found this, so I picked him up and we used him as a subject. I have cropped them a bit, but deliberately left my fingers in, so you can get an idea of his size. A baby Shingleback:

 

 

 

 

It goes without say that I put him back in the area we found him, in a safe place

 

PS: he was rather nervous and piddled on my hands!!!!!

lovely kobione, he has really lovely colours and markings.

 

and we get excited when we find one of our teeny weeny lizards, just imagine finding these on a walk!

Like the third shot best, i am 54 and haven't seen a lizard in the UK since i was about 10. Last month i had one in my garden, not much longer than a finger. I never thought to get my camera out.

Denny im 46 and have never seen a wild lizard in this country at all 

 

Kobione you are right he is such a cutie ! love the last shot especially , brilliant detail in it.   Do we think hubby will be making an appearance on here and giving you a run for your money ? 

Come on Mr K !

Aw! He is cute, and your hubby is getting to grips with his new camera too.

Is he one of those that grow huge, Dee? I think you may have posted one of an adult.

Definitely cute

Another great set. #3 for me as well

Thanks, all. Denny, where we live is often referred to as 'Lizard Country' and we do have a lot of reptile activity. We love it, not everyone can see what we do on a walk around our block! You are bound to see more like this as our weather warms up Lizards make good subjects because they 'freeze' when you approach them. 

 

H'mm, don't think so Heather. David has several other interests, but he borrowed a camera like this from a friend and was very impressed, so he decided to update while we can. I'll probably be having a play with it too.

 

Tina, this was the first day he had it, so a bit to go yet! The Shinglebacks grow to about 15-16 inches at maturity, and it was another one I posted recently, but that was a young one too, but not as young as this. 

 

Thanks for the comments.
