Seen early morning outside my office front door, constricting a large gecko that, in turn, had a grip on the snake. Fortunately for the snake the gecko only had hold of a skin flap at the snake's throat, narrowly missing its trachea.
I placed an inverted basket over the pair so that the drama could play out undisturbed by foot traffic.
Later, when I removed the basket it was evident that the snake had prevailed. Only sign of the gecko was a lump in the snake.

On 29 June 2022 I submitted photos of the plant hopper nymphs and have waited for them to change. Well 3 months later these pale creamy white moth-like adults with some orange flecks, dots and colour around the face have emerged. The branches of the parsley trees are covered with them. When I have disturbed them they seem to hop before flying to a nearby branch where they immediately settle. It is impossible to capture them in flight they are so fast. Remains of the white planthopper nymphs remain caught on trunks and among the adults and are also scattered beneath the small parsley trees. The parsley trees appear the preferred tree to settle and breed on.

The young BSK was sitting on the pole and the starlings started to surround him. So he set up a mighty racket to let his Dad know he was feeling threatened by the bunch of clowns.
Dad came in to protect him, which didn't worry the starlings at all! So Dad flew off and all the starlings went with him.
Third pic is a gif.

Observed this mating dance by the male. He dropped down once when getting close to the female but ended up climbing back up and the mating ensued.

A surprise for us but we do live on a nursery and get people from all over.

Just for interest, added cycad seeds being sorted . Nobody seems to know who brought them in or where they came from, but many of the seeds have similar holes, similarly empty. None of our cycads have cones now, so thinking this beastie came in with the seeds.

These two Geckos sheltering under this very old limpet on a midden of shells on a limestone plate. Placed the shell back once photos were taken!

One moment a statue and the next moment it had a snake in the beak. After shaking the snake around a bit, it started to swallow.. only 3 gulps and the snake was gone.
