A big rustle in the bushes . . .

 I have been out of town for work for the last few weeks, and truly relished the perfect spring weather that greeted me when I returned.  It was a weekend of endless blue skies and warm days - in the high 20 degrees.  A friend & I wanted to catch up, so we rode our mountain bikes around the quiet trails in Glenrock reserve.  We were having a break when "something" was disturbed by our presence, and took off through the dry undergrowth at a rate of knots.  My friend was really worried about a snake - but smiled when I pointed to the culprit watching us from a nearby tree.  


Lace monitors are still common in the area, right here on the coast despite the rapidly expanding population moving to Lake Macquarie.  Nice to see a Lace monitor in the bush doing it's thing, so very close to my home - rather than sad road pizza.
