At this end of this billabong, the freshwater crocodiles crawl up the gentle slope to a sandy area to lay and bury their eggs. At this time of year the normally docile freshwater crocodiles become very aggressively protective of the buried eggs. This particular spot is at the inlet end of the main Mango Farm billabong with a stand of paperbark trees and the extremely humid conditions of a few days ago have hatched out hundreds of butterflies that fill the air when moving through in the same area as the freshwater crocodile nests, but they are very difficult to have show up in a photograph against the mottled shade provided by the fresh water mangroves, although I have tried.
The Estuarine Crocodiles (Salties) are also getting territorial and best kept away from currently, although not yet at the egg laying time.
