Catchlights catch them watching

Three images from Jourama Falls reflect wildlife awareness of the intruder among them: Rainbow skink (Carlia rostralis) keeps a cautious eye out.


Northern Fantail (Rhipidura rufiventris) casts a backward look.


Male Shining Flycatcher (Myiagra alecto) glances sideways.


Meanwhile, revised, noise-reduced Pied Monarch (Arses kaupi, with mantid) looks sharper.

    Gosh, that skink is beautiful. It's a fitting common name.

    Love the Skink.
    Others good, and your improved Pied Monarch is spectacular (if not "Spectacled").
