Mt Cootha Botanical Gardens

I was meeting with some friends at Mt Cootha Botanical Gardens today, so I took my camera along to see what I could see.

Eastern water dragon (Physignathus lesueurii lesueurii)

Eastern water dragon (Physignathus lesueurii lesueurii). He’s opening his mouth and standing erect as a way of warding off a smaller dragon that’s out of frame.

Willie wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) at nest

Brisbane River turtle (Emydura macquarii signata). I had to get my feet wet and muddy to get this shot. He dove back into the water before I got any better ones.
