Notes
I heard a very short rustling sound in the brush on the side of the fire road and was almost sure it was just another side-blotch lizard, which are quite numerous up there. But then I saw the tell-tale white stripe against a black body. Unfortunately I only got this one - poor - shot before the racer vanished.
