User's notes

By comparison of face and tail markings I believe this is likely to be goanna Georgina which we first photographed last year in courtship mode with a male, Geoffrey. Due to this goanna's very submissive behaviour and smaller size in that encounter, we deduced that it was a female. This is the third individual Lacey that we have seen on our block this season.
