User's notes

This individual was initially sunning itself on this slab, but went into the grass when disturbed, but then appeared to get into a full on fight with a larger darker individual before returning to the slab. Then it was very alert, watching the grass on the edge of the slab, and appeared to have an injury to the tail. Note also a photo bombing bug in the third photo.
