Our visitor is back. He lives somewhere in the garden and I usually see him two or three times a week.
I was worried that he might have been scared off because at the weekend I find him caught in some netting that had blown free in the storm and was anchored down. He was right in one end with one of my chicks watching him which was how I spotted him very quickly... he tolerated me getting him free and touching him to do so, but I though that might have been too much and he might have moved on elsewhere but no, he's back and not worried about me in the slightest, phew. (And yes, it is a he, and he's a shingleback (lizard)). He eats mostly flowers and grains but is white happy to eat the chick starter as well as the pellets the chooks don't eat. He's very partial to any yellow flowers.
