Incidentally, an unidentified reed also happens to be in the same vicinity as the main inhabitant.

Here's it after the morning showers...


Hope to identify it in the coming days as he's always on the run constantly though when it comes to feeding time, i guess for him size doesn't matter that much as he's the first one who comes to snatch the crickets first !!

..........more pics to come........

Are those spider plants or the umm... Bromeliads?

[Fei Miao]

Terence, you referring to this? No they are not spider plants.
I used to think these are called Lilyturf, but a check with the Nat parks site state these are St. Augustine Grass aka Stenotaphrum secundatum 'Variegatum', commonly found in the nurseries.
