Found in the back garden...

Found a blue tongue in the back garden. Almost trod on him actually as I was going outside to do a few flower macros.




Finally making his escape with his prize:

I didn't even know they ate strawberries I had a blue-tongue in my garden and was happy for it to be there so it could eat the snails that were eating my strawberries. Now i know the snails weren't the problem

A great set of images - I like the colour, composition and sharpness of these and while I doubt it was an artistic decision to feed him a strawberry the colour contrast of the red fruit really adds zing to the images.

John - lucky you !!!!
And great shots - sure is a well fed bluey

Thanks Steve, leigh, Peter and Rel for the comments.

Steve, they certainly love strawberries. This guy dragged away one strawberry but didn't come back for a second one I left out for him. Must have been too much of a good thing.

You're right Peter, it wasn't so much an artistic decision to feed him a strawberry, more of how can I get him to hang around decision. When I saw the images with the red with the blue tongue and the skin colours, I thought that works well. I did think the shot with him dragging the strawberry thru the fence was a bit cluttered, but beggars can't be choosers.

Haven't seen him back unfortunately.

Cheers
