A recent comment on the MCN Facebook oage drew attention to hawk moths visiting flowers in the area. This morning walking down Angophora Drive Frances spotted this very large specimen in the road. Also well camouflaged.
Later in the day I was riding my bike up Angophora and heard small birds generating a ruckus in a friends garden. My first hope was a roosting owl. Second prize, which eventuated, was a visiting reptile. A Lace Monitor (aka Goanna) about 1.8m long.
I walked back with Frances a little later and it was still visible perhaps 5 m further up the tree.
