Two in one. We should have a contest to see how many species someone can get in one photo.

Don't forget these sightings go to Atlas of Living Australia as scientific records of the species and at least the main photo should show only one species and diagnostic features.

How long is the water dragon's tongue? I think a gecko could probably reach it.
