User's notes

Very tiny. Unperturbed by my presence I watched it for about 20 minutes as it moved from rock to rock. It then often raised one leg and slowly waved its foot. To me it seemed that the foot was meant as a lure to attract prey, that would then become prey for the dragon.

This is a baby bearded dragon. Notice the enlarged scales across the back of the head (nape) that are also present in adults. WillO

Good to get these confirmations of breeding in our urban reserves
