A quick update from me to finish off the year unless an odd leaf-tailed gecko or something like that pops up locally – recent highlights have included three monstrous Powerful Owls at Featherdale, my first ever hyenas at Sydney Zoo, reacquainting with the long-beaked echidna once again at Taronga and a few of the really nice native geckos. Golden-tailed Geckoes are a personal favourite especially.
