Eastern Water Dragon, Botanic Gardens, Canberra

Visitors to the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra cannot miss seeing a very common lizard that lives in the gardens, especially around the water features.

Numerous Eastern Water Dragons can be seen sunning themselves on rocks or on the paths.

Taking photos of them can be an interesting diversion from the excellent birding in the gardens. I guess even the plant enthusiasts can be intrigued in these interesting reptiles, especially if they nearly step on one.
