Nanotyrannus is cool and all, but what if there was a brand new book written with, and illustrated by, @markwitton.bsky.social on Spinosaurus? Wouldn't that be really cool? Listen to use talk about it here before it comes out in less than a week! terriblelizards.libsyn.com/s11e10-spino...

I was at the Australian Botanic Garden at Mt Annan yesterday when this *huge* Lace Monitor crossed one of the lawns. Many birds followed, mobbed, and swooped it, but only the Masked Lapwings came close enough for me to get some action shots. #birds #reptiles

Photograph of a Lace Monitor (aka Goanna), a very large lizard in the same family as Komodo Dragons (and it shows). The photo is focused on its face and neck, showing intricate scales of black, brown, orange, and yellow. It is generally darker above and light below, but there are many stark stipes of yellow and black.

Wider photograph of the same Lace Monitor crossing a green lawn strewn with scattered leads. The monitor is poking its long forked tongue out.

Wide shot showing the entire monitor at well over 2 metres (including tail). A Masked Lapwing is swooping down from behind the monitor.

Shortly after the previous photo, the lapwing has circled around and is making a pass from the monitor's front. Its wings and tail are spread wide, its beak open, but it's still maintaining a relatively safe distance because it knows how bitey monitors can be. The monitor has turned its head to protect its eyes because it knows how pointy lapwings can be.

Eyes on the weekend... #FlyDay's here! 📷 @mart-the-gooner.bsky.social

A Robin flys straight towards the camera, wings fully outstretched and eyes locked ahead, its vivid orange-red breast glowing against a blurred green background, with the intense look of someone laser-focused on making it to the weekend.

After we published the new specimen of #Spicomellus a few weeks ago, we were contacted by George Blasing, who said he'd bought some on the commercial market, and wanted to return it to Morocco. It arrived last week. Thanks George for doing the right thing in the name of science!

It's 'Caption this' Thursday! Give us your best 👀👇 📸 Paul Browning

A Kestrel perches on a branch, eyes fully closed, with its head tucked deep into its feathers. Its soft plumage is fluffed and rounded, giving it a sleepy, cocooned look, like it’s trying to block out the world.

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the Redpoll! 🍂 These tiny finches add a pop of colour with their red crowns and lively calls as they forage in flocks among birch and alder trees. A winter treat from the north!
