While photographing birds at the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden recently I looked across to a sunny patch in the undergrowth to see a large Red-bellied Black Snake keeping an eye on me. He was partly obscured by the foliage but got a few good shots - glad I had the 500mm lens fitted so could keep a far enough away as not to frighten him off. We were next to a large pond that has lots of frogs and as he slithered back into the reeds around the pond I could see from the size of him that the frogs kept him well fed!
Got some reasonable bird photos as well here is a one of the Yellow Robins that were very active that morning.
This one is an Eastern Whipbird that was very active in the undergrowth, as they normally would be, but occasionally would fly into a tree or in this case on a bridge.
