Lady lizard's royal wave!

Seemingly she waved a few times (but not on camera)!

As usual, Nick spent some time at his mine in the afternoon.

When he arrived, this lady was in the hole but climbed out when he climbed in. She walked around the mine and kept climbing onto higher mounds.

Nick stopped to watch her and realised she was waving to him from each high point!

As you can see, she was definitely ready to lay her eggs.

After a while she started digging in the soft sand near the bottom of one of Nick's discard piles, presumably looking for a suitable egg-laying spot.

Given the pile was still in use, Nick ushered her gently to a better place - and shortly after she wandered off.




When Nick returned home that night, he brought some rocks showing bits of colour. He later commented that his new plan was to dig in the direction of the lady lizard's waves!
