Water Dragons – 30th October 2012
Posted in Natural History, Water Dragons, tagged natural history, water dragons on October 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Observed two medium sized and one large water dragon on the way to work this morning. The large dragon was perched on a concrete vent/outlet as observed last week in my post entitled Water Dragon Photos – October 2012. One medium sized dragon was lying on some rocks in the water and the other was perched on a semi submerged tree stump.
This afternoon, I also observed a medium sized dragon near the waters edge perched on its front legs.

Observed two Black and White cormorants on the lake this morning. One ducking and diving in the water close to the shore, the other in on a rock or branch in the middle of the lake with its wings outspread. The bird close to the shore ducked and dived a number of times, then flew to perch on the rock/branch in the middle of the lake with other birds.

Observed three black and white cormorants on the lake this morning. Flying above the lake waters, swimming, diving, surfacing, sitting on rocks and with their wings spread to dry in the sun.
Awesome.

Three Water Dragons in the water

Today I observed three large water dragons lying and swimming in the lake water today. Unusual I thought to see so many actually in the water and given that the temperature was cooler than it has been – early to mid 20’s.
Cormorant observed swimming and diving

Yesterday I observed a black and white cormorant swimming, diving underneath the water of the lake and surfacing. I watched the cormorant for about five minutes, observing the ripples and bubbles after it had dived back under the surface, how it moved its head observing its surroundings, and how it glided through the water kicking its webbed feet.
