User's notes
The Blue-tongue was crossing the lawn area at ANBG when a Red Wattlebird started to persistently harass it until the Blue-tongue reached the cover of some bushes. In the third image the bird's tail struck the Blue-tongue. Not the best of images as the camera was set up to photograph the Blue-tongue slowly meandering across the lawn area and not the unexpected high-speed flight and chase. The Blue-tongue is shown in following sighting 4707042.
