Amazing and beautiful set, Murray. That lizard tongue!

Yes, it’s amazing to watch. You can see the tongue coiled up in its mouth before it shoots out, it’s approximately the length of the body and it’s very fast.

That gecko shot is amazing – how did you spot it? And ‘the shot’ – chameleon with tongue out 🙂 Enjoy South Georgia.

We were travelling at about 5mph on a rough road in the bus when roadside workers stopped us and pointed it out.

Amazing. Still can’t see Kirindy post except first one, photos didn’t load perhaps?

I was telling Doug today about your shots on a prior post where you’d caught the chameleons in the act of snagging the bugs. He wondered how long you spent waiting for each shot. The color on that first chameleon in this set is incredible!

It was set up for me. There was a grasshopper on the end of a stick for the chameleon to catch. You can see the stick in the first image. Still difficult to catch.

Hallo mr. Murray,
Your pictures are very clear and beautiful.
Looking forward to more pictures from you.

Until now, we think we will go to lake district in england.
The nature there must be very beautiful , because of the mountains and lakes.
We are forward to your photos of the next countries you will be visiting.
We think, you have seen many beautifull places of this crazy world.
Have a very nice yourney, and we send you our greetings.
Your friends, pim and carla

Thanks very much, Pim and Carla. I am very slow to respond either due to absence of internet or shortage of time but now I am back in Australia.
I have seen a few photographs of the Lakes District but have never been there.
I will start posting again very soon.
