Backyard Monitor Lizard

There is a canal (khlong) behind my house that has its own ecosystem. 

 

The other morning I spotted a large, 1.5 meter, Monitor lizard sunning itself on my garden wall . . . and happened to have my trusty Canon 5D Mark II camera and the great Canon L-series II 70-200mm lens on it.  What luck!

 

Wildlife photography from my loving room!

 

What a great opportunity to finally photograph this Monitor lizard I have been stalking for several years.  I ran up stairs and added the 2X extender onto my long lens and ran back downstairs for a closer shot . . . but it (he? she?) was gone.  Darn!  I'll keep my camra gear in the living room from now on . . . I might also get a chance to photograph the 2.5 meter long Python that also lives in the khlong that likes to eat the local cats.
