Wilkerson Rd |
Kangaroo, Western Grey |
Numerous regular visitors. They come to drink and a mother and last year's juvenile sometimes spend most of the day moving around the water tanks following the shade. A couple of times a large male has visited and seems to be tolerant of a juvenile following him around and sharing access to one of the water sources. I thought it was uncommon for adult males to be relaxed with others. |

Regular visitors. They come every day to the veranda. I think one might be pregnant. There are at least five different ones. |

Monitor, Black-tailed (Varanus tristis tristis) |
There was a small one at the back door. A short time later when I was driving down the road there was another one on the road. It took off like a rocket when I slowed down to let it cross. |

Wilkerson Rd West Toodyay |
Monitor, Black-tailed (Varanus tristis tristis) |
Literally jumped forward from under a table on the front veranda, apparently chasing an insect-maybe a moth- which flew just ahead of it. Having failed to fly, it paused momentarily then walked off into the garden. |

Skink, Bobtail (Tiliqua rugosa) |
Literally ran towards me the length of the veranda right up to my feet and waited while I went inside to bring it some tomato. Quite a small one but bigger than this season�s babies so presumably remembers from last season. |
