Almost Self-Reliant
I have a new holland honeyeater hanging around my garden gate and getting very agitated when I go out there , so I suspect a nest in the area! Hopefully it learns to see me as NOT a threat cos I go out there a lot.
There is also a tiny, tiny baby bobtail lizard living along the back fence. I had never seen one so small and it seems very slow to grow, but has almost doubled it size since I have been watching it. I was worried about it being so tiny so left eggs and strawberries in the general area. Today I went out to see if the little one was sunbaking, but instead found the BIG daddy out there seeking the strawberries! Havent seen him all winter. He was living here before me. His wife is around the yard somwehere too, they seem to have one or two babies a year but this tiny one is the first one that young I have seen. Usually I meet the babies when they are teens and on the move for their own patch of yard.
