User's notes
Sorry, photos are from late Feb this year, and I am just uploading them now. This juvenile Gippsland Water Dragon was at the Australian National Botanic Gardens. It was originally poised, alert on a low wall. It then went to a boulder slightly closer to me where it quickly gobbled down an insect. Then it happily patrolled the boulder looking for more food. There were one or two other juveniles in the surrounding area.
