Description:

This cheeky wheke, not wanting to miss an opportunity to be on Nature Watch like all of the other wheke in the whanau, tapped the foot of @rongoa a few times to get our attention, else we would not have seen it. Once it had our attention the little poser then changed colour which I have not captured before. It is hard being a wheke model so at the end of the photo shoot, it shut it's eye to sleep (last photo). I will have to do more research on this phenomenon, for if the wheke are now letting us know they are there, it will make it easier for @pjd1 and whanau to find them *LOL*
