Today is a very warm day. I was in the garden taking a few photos – yeah I know, most unusual – when I heard a bit of a rustling in the undergrowth. I knew exactly what it was. A Goanna. I went into the garden and as they always do, the Goanna ran up the nearest tree.
This one is a small one but is the first Goanna for Summer. He lay as flat as possible against the trunk so I wouldn’t notice him. I went onto the verandah so I was level with him to grab a couple of photos.
I noticed there was a red spot on his face. Goannas always have ticks on them so I had to get a closer photo just to see if it was a tick.
Just as I suspected, it is a tick. He didn’t seem to have any other ticks that I could see.
You know I’ve got them here on the screen ready to make you scream Some that slither some that fly some with many legs hairy and slim Who will bite? Who will sting? They await you to make you sweat tremor with terror or shake like a leaf Yes almost time to peek through your fingers if you dare ready to scream soon, here on the screen You know I’ve got them.
