Field Notes

Notes:

This is the boldest lace monitor I've ever come across! It was only about 4 feet long, but it wanted to walk on the bush track and didn't care if we were in the way. First shot shows its long tongue. In the second shot it's walking right past my husband's feet; you can get a good idea of its size.
