I was also surprised to hear a Grey Butcherbird among the more familiar birdsong, such as willy wagtail and magpie and crow.

Hilltop holiday
One of the highlights of Christmas for me is spending time with my outlaws and seeing the landscape outside of Wagga
I've photographed sunrises and sunsets, as well as many blossoming plants. The Kurrajong trees, for example, were flowering like I've never seen before.

I also saw this brown eagle, which was hanging around the chicken carcasses from Christmas lunch.
As I wandered about the land I saw lots of lizards and wondered whether they were, like the blossoming plants, having a good year for breeding.
I'd grabbed my camera to try and get a picture of this big skink, when I heard a rustle in the bushes and realised I wasn't the only spectator as the lizard basked in the afternoon light.
There was a brown snake -- which was a thrill to say the least!
