Day 39/41 Mornington Wildlife Conservancy

As we turned into the road, we saw what appeared to be a bird at a dead snake on the road. As we got closer the Bird above took off and the snake went into reverse.
This picture is worth blowing up (double click on it). Stephen went to jump out of the car to take a picture,while I panicked as we did not know what sort of snake it was... I got a rude reply "It's got a bloody mouth full..it can't bit me!" We believe it is an Olive Python. A remarkable welcome to Mornington, which was a further 85ks down the track.
We have broken this visit up into sections as we feel that it is a very special place doing a fabulous job, trying to restore and improve nature, all without the Government funding.
