Remarkable photo of the fairy wren. Also a beautiful snake. Can I assume that it is poisonous since it killed the skink?
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteModerately venomous. I was surprised how quickly the skink lost most movement, assuming what I first saw was the strike (and not a followup strike). Snakes though are not fussed about swallowing live prey, so long as it's not something that can bite back.
Awesome picture of wren!
