Habitat:

Found in forest, scrub and gardens

Notes:

Seen in a park whilst on walk today. This guy was so quick that this was the best picture I could get of him.

All is well Sean, despite tons of work. At least was able to dive again last week and slowly posting the pics here in Project Noah. Hope you are too and nice seeing your photographs as well. Cheers!
