Disturbed this little cutie who was sleeping in my garden bin under the outside steps. He may look like he's grinning but he certainly wasn't judging by the noises he was making. (I say "he" but I have no idea really, so apologies for the subconscious sexism!)

I think this is it, "The scientific name for the species is Phyllurus platurus and the traditional Darug name for southern leaf-tailed geckos is bayagin." linkAlways amazes me how geckos have evolved to shed their tails if attacked or picked up by them and regrow another. A clever escape mechanism that must drive birds crazy.
