Tricky!
Got him at last! I had a futile attempt at photographing one when we were on the Gold Coast, and this guy sure gave me the run-around on this day... up and down the road as he flitted between the trees lining the road.

This was the best image I got, most of them were faceless as he hid behind leaves.

Lol, it sounds as this one enjoyed the game as much as you did D. In the end you still got a usable one, despite its trying to avoid you! TFS!
