A little more nature study

Yesterday morning was fairly humid so a spider web stood out well. Note the rolled up leaf (aka spider roost) in the centre of the web. Late on the afternoon of the 31st March Frances noticed a leg-challenged reptile on our nice sunny bank Once it had passed on its way I went back and measured a conveniently placed rock. I reckon the rock is about 1/4 of the length of the snake which makes it about 1.4m long. Not gigantic, but a good size for a red-belly.
