User's notes
The snake was sighted searching for prey (second image) and came across a Water Dragon (third image). In the fourth image the snake lunged for the Dragon which decided to jump onto a retaining wall and run past me closely followed by the snake (first image). The snake came to rest on the retaining wall next to me where it stopped for a bit and eventually returned to the undergrowth. Not the best images as taken with a macro lens... carefully.
