Flies and flighty

Skinks are a bit flighty so this one must have been a bit cold. I'm sure the residual heat from the morning sun on the concrete must have felt divine.

It was hiding on the edge of the grass before I surprised it.

Most likely a Grass Skink, Lampropholis delicata (ID source, Wildlife of Greater Brisbane).

Most likely a Cuckoo Wasp (ID source - Wildlife of Greater Brisbane). I've seen this wasp several times checking out the holes in the bricks and concrete on the walls. It finally stayed still long enough to have its photo taken.
