Nice shot, could I suggest a little more light/exposure in photoshop. Never seen one but I would just love to get a shot like this. Tell me do you have to walk up very slowly or are they "asleep" when basking? I think if i saw one I would be too busy dancing with joy and I would miss the shot! Jon

Walking quietly and slowly does help a great deal, the previous 2 seen on that day scarpered before I could take a shot! I was watching this one for about 5 minutes until she decided to go in to cover. A bit more light would help, I think that shot is slightly under exposed(I tend not to use flash). Having said that, I'll have more opportunities to take piccies when the weather has cooled down a bit.
