Visitor night and day

The two young doves paid a visit today they have been away for almost 2 weeks,  the older doves are always here, so I thought maybe they have found themselves another nesting place. so maybe I will have the pleasure of seeing yet another generation of the Laughing doves,

 

I  got up at 2.00  to make myself a cup of tea  and have a shower, this young greco  was clinging to the bathroom door suround  must have been wondering what this crazy human was doing in  water scaring all its food away, it was so cute.  its only about 2.1/2 " long

And it stayed in the same place as I walked out of the bathroom  6" under it  to get my Camera,

No bugs around I wonder! Why?

One of the bugs the skinks do not eat,

.

they only live where there is garbage or dung and rather than go to a smelly dump. I opted to go to a cleaner environment, or so I thought  this being an area where all the tourists  have a stroll  along the lower walk of the promenade, this is the area already under re construction IE all the cruise ships and the moorings  ,fuel pipes etc have been moved ready for the dig  where I am walking will eventually be the level of the new prom,
  but here there is nothing for the skinks.  so I walk on to where the boats are parked sometimes 11 in a row.

One of the juniors with its bright blue tail.

there are a few gardens here  But also a dump for kitchen waste from the boats. here the flies gather  plus the rats, and its a good feeding area for our bug cleaners, the skinks,  and there are hundreds of them here often the run across the walk to get a drink in the Nile,  these  are about 6" in length  Not sure what they are once they grow bigger, if they grow any larger the next size I have seen are over 9" then they are monitor lizards.

 This one  I photographed  7/4/10  and is over 9ft long  its tail is over a meter
 making it bigger than the one found in the Philippines

,

The other little  bug eaters are the Grecos  last night there was 6 on the wall opposite my balcony,  I live watching these move  looks like the wall is velcro. and these have velcro pads on the feet.  photos taken with flash from 30ft

 the Squacco has more interest in the little monitor lizard  than me.
