They grow up so fast

Nearly a year old now - haven’t they grown! Because they were adopted from the SPCA, I don’t know their exact birthdays so I’ve guessed them to have been christmas babies.

Lizards and predators

Peruvian lizard @ Machu Picchu and his New Zealand cousins – Common Gecko and Copper Skink

This is a blog of shame. The warmer weather has the lizard population out sunbathing on rocks around my house. Unfortunately, they're easy pickings for my young predators and some other introduced pests. Learn more.

The predators: my lovelies, Kotare (NZ Kingfisher), Australian Magpie and Hedgehogs

At the zoo

Some of my favourite shots from the annual birthday visit to the zoo.

Soooo cute!

My beautiful babies!

The best Valentine day present ever.
