Yesterday as I was working in the garden .. unpacking & checking the tent, for this coming weekends 'Berg Trip ' ... I heard some rustling in the dry leaves and the next minute here is this young chap sitting on the verge ...
Indi was rummaging thru the leaves sniffing and generally having a good old nosey around and this 'Lizard' just sat perfectly still while she walked up to him ... I ran to get the camera not sure if he would sit still long enough for some shots ... well as you can see he was as still as a 'dead' lizard ... I even managed to sit on the grass next to him to get these close-ups ... nature is such a wonderful thing ... as I was sitting there you could see his colouring changing to camouflage him ... 
I'm not too sure which type of Lizard he is ... but I've searched the tinternet ... and he seems to fall into the 'bearded dragon' family somewhere ... It was amazing watching him ... and I even reached over and touched him ... he never moved a muscle ... then as I stood up to move around him he took off like a bolt of lightning and he was gone ... incredibly fast ....
With it being 'winter' here he was probably coming out for a bit of warmth in the sun ... shame we upset his tanning routine cos we didn't see him again after that ....
