Nest-building Leaden Flycatcher pair seen in Aranda Bushland around 09:00 this morning.

Apparent mating behaviour of Eastern Bearded Dragons around 11:00:
Two lizards (male) following a third. One of the following lizards (the smaller one) retreated after being confronted, at about 10m by the other following one.
The pursuit involved head-bobbing and when only one lizard was following the lead lizard ran on back legs for several metres.
We while we observed, the pursuit streched over several hundred metres.
No arm-waving, which is noted in some online descriptions of Eastern Bearded Dragon mating behaviour, was seen.
