Field Notes

Notes:

This series shows a close encounter between two lace monitors. The first two shots are the first monitor, the third shot is the (much smaller) second monitor. In the fourth and fifth shots they are together - the size difference is quite remarkable. Although the smaller one seemed unperturbed by the situation, the larger one was shaking its head from side to side in jerky, aggressive movements.

Thanks Lily! It was pretty unusual to see two of them interacting, usually they are just on their own.
