Visitors to My Garden . Part 3

Yes Stelco . A bush walking GPS will do that .
But our Car GPS only gives distance traveled .
Not up and down .

Finger tap tap tap at Eqi .

Before I tell you what these wonderfull creatures are .
I wonder if any one can guess what they are ?
The ones in the foreground .

The white ones? Have no clue. Can't see them very well.

Ducks?

Fulvous Ducks?

Oops, I left out Whistling...

Fulvous Whistling Ducks?

Well...no...I think that I am wrong.

Green Pygmy Goose?

Kim is right .

I want one! They are so lovely ;o)

Here is a more close up .
There are even a few WD amongst them .

Heeeey. LOL I know you are kidding. Don't tell my babies but I have eaten duck many times and it is rather tasty (if cooked properly).

Kim

Asian Peking duck take away is great .
With combination fried rice . Yummmmie .

They look like they are playing Robin, from Batman, for Halloween. LOL.

lol .

These things are very common in our gardens .
But this is the first Pic. I have taken in many a year off this Giant King Fisher .
Yall know what it is don't you ?

Hey ginger, did you know that the University of California-Santa Cruz has an Australian garden? It's all plants native to Oz that they are growing to sell to the public here in the U.S. if they meet expectations and don't become invasive.

No Pep I didn't know that .
Just Shows to Go the world really is shrinking .
Are you going to show us some Pics of IT ???

No, sorry. I saw it on TV this morning on my favorite gardening show. Let me see if I can find a link though.

Sounds nice .

Posted links above.

Thanks will look at them now .


Later.

The third link was the best .
Thanks for that Pep .

No problem. It was neat to see what they are growing.

How do yall like this camouflage ?

Tokay Gecko?

Yes Stelco .
How did you know that ?
This one is about 12 inches long .

I like critters. It bugs me when you post one that I can't ID.

Well here's one you won't get then.
This is apparently a new Species that I have discovered .
I have the best 2 minds in Oz on its trail .
If it is new , I get the naming rights to it .
Pretty cool hey ?

Ah! That's easy. The invisible Wizard of Oz!

lol .
If you are interested .
I would post up a few more Pics for YOU .

I need at least one. Do you see something that I don't?

It all started with this little Guy .
The spots is what made it unusual .

I would have guessed a Tokay Gecko too but the heavy hitter got knocked out of the box on that so what about some type of Phelsuma?

OK, I've known what it is all along but was just being shush. It's the ever so elusive Orange-Spotted Metal Gecko. Not my photo but it's such a rare species I had to go and grab an image from the Internet and doctor it a little bit for... educational purposes of course-

Hey Eqi .
Is that a Broach ?

Why no! That's not a broach.
It's the ever so elusive what ever I said it was above.

Eqi ,
I haven't had a drink YET .
It's head is nothing like that .
It's legs are short and stumpy .
And all the things on it's back are Buttons . lol
Pull the other one . Kell

Tiger Geckos don't get that big.
Is this what you have-

If not, I call Uncle.

Eqi .
Once again yours is an ornament .
Mine is a real living bighting thing .
Check out this link .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokay_gecko

Now PLEASE take the time to read it all .
Males are between 11 to 15 inches long .
Once they bight they won't let go .

Egads, it was a Tokay. Way cool, you keep it though. I lost a finger last year and don't need to be losing any more!
