Paddyfield Pipit

 When the Paddyfield Pipits crossed path with a Skink, it was to each its own - a classic example of minding one's own business.

The younger one looked like it was not even aware of the presence of the skink. 

And for the other, it was simply business as usual.

Oblivion is bliss.

As I was passing by

 

The Many-lined Sun Skink (Eutropis multifasciata) is a lizard that can often be seen to scuttle among fallen leaves and up the tree trunks.  Caught in the sunlight, it displays a stunning iridescent gleam.
