Today we went to Litchfield National Park and Rum Jungle Lake from Batchelor where we are staying. The excitement was in the picnic area at Litchfield NP near Florence Falls. I saw two very large Merton's Water Monitors.
While I was following the Mertons Water Monitors, I noticed this little dragon in amongst the rocks. I think it is a Gilberts Dragon
and this Little Pied Cormorant was in the place we were swimming when we first arrived at the Picnic area at Florence Falls.

We also saw some Whistling Kites in the trees near the monitors. We wondered if they were thinking they might be dinner, but they were too big. The Whistling Kites certainly seemed big when they were close up
