Found at St John Brook Conservation Park, W of Nannup. Western Australia, Australia.
ID help appreciated.
Relatively tolerant. Allowed me to get close in with the 100mm.
Single exposure, slightly cropped, handheld, in situ.
Rob (riverboy777) and I headed up to Monitor Pass on Saturday in search of sunrise and fall color. We arrived slightly late for sunrise, though he got a pretty nice shot of it anyway. I found this nice little creek with some purdy fall colors.

I think this guy had been raiding a nest because sticking out of his mouth is what looks like a chick's emerging pin feather. No wonder they had been going ballistic.
The antenna
The construction of this ground station began in 1969, and the multi satellite antenna is operational since 1971. Since January 2013, the dismantling of the site is ongoing as part of the modernization of satellite telecommunication centers of NATO, and new ground stations with multiple antennas should be located on the current site, but also Lunghezzano (Verona, Italy), as well as single antennas Oglaganasi (Turkey) and Atalanti (Greece).

Over the next few weeks of February and March 2020, I made lots of trips to the VA hospital to see my doctor, my cardiologist, and more testing gear. I had ultrasound and CT scans of my heart followed by consultations on what they saw. They say that surgery will probably not be necessary but prescribed more meds. My doctor decided to get me a heart monitor to wear for several weeks. They showed me how to apply the sensors, hook up and turn on the gear, and take it off for wet personal hygiene and showers.
There are four sensors that are placed in specific places that are wired to a small RF transmitter on a lanyard around my neck. The transmitter talks to a modified cell phone that has to be within ten feet or so and sends the data to a medical monitoring station near Chicago. A couple of times a tech called me up to ask why my heartrate was up. The first time was probably due to a stubborn shit that needed urging. The second time I felt nothing and had no explanation. Ultimately, the three week test proved that I did have occasional rapid heartrate episodes at random times.
Besides having to take time to unhook every time I needed to get cleaned up and then hook up again, I had to keep the monitor phone at my bedside, in my purse, on a belt holster, or on the kitchen countertop, dinner table, vanity table, etc. If you click to magnify the photo, you can see icons on the phone that match white, red, green, or black sensor locations.
I was issued the monitor set in March just before the COVID lockdown. I remember hearing BBC reports of a mysterious virus in China during the Christmas 2019 holidays. By January the epidemic was in full swing in China, but the US was paralyzed in its response due to incompetence by Trumputin. I wondered how my VA hospital was going to react to what was obviously a pandemic that would strike Houston.
During my first morning in the hospital, I complimented the guy cleaning my room. I told him I noticed how clean everything was, and that his job would soon be part of a life or death situation. I said I spent as much time in the Army with a broom, mop, and toilet brush as with a rifle and machinegun. He was an Army vet, too and laughed. I said the Army makes a fetish out of cleanliness because in most wars, disease kills more people than battle. I wished him luck because I knew that in a few weeks, lots of patients would be dying, and he would have to clean up after them. I was right.
Harris County has lost more than 8900 people to COVID. Texas has lost more than 69,000 people mostly due to Governor Abbott's bungling and interference with local officials trying to enact public health measures like masking in public places. That's more than we lost in the Vietnam War and all of our useless oil wars in the Middle East combined. Nationwide, the US has lost more than 732,000 deaths due to the Trumputin Covfefe Virus pandemic because Trump and his fellow RepUGLUcan idiots didn't believe in science and wanted to kill as many poor and non-white people in the cities as possible. It is evident that "conservatism" is simply another word for BACKWARDNESS because they oppose all public health measure like mask mandates, prohibitions against indoor crowds, and mandatory vaccinations that could have controlled this disease many months ago.
The Bengal monitor (Varanus bengalensis) or common Indian monitor, is a monitor lizard found widely distributed over the Indian Subcontinent, as well as parts of Southeast Asia and West Asia. This large lizard is mainly terrestrial, and its length can range from about 61 to 175 cm from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. Young monitors may be more arboreal, but adults mainly hunt on the ground, preying mainly on arthropods, but also taking small terrestrial vertebrates, ground birds, eggs and fish.

These arrived today from B&H to review, pretty sure two will be going back and one will become my new monitor after I am done with the review. My existing Samsung monitor is 7 years old.

Along the way to Canyonlands National Park are Monitor and Merrimac, two incredibly beautiful sandstone features. I captured this shot under incredibly dramatic afternoon skies.

The monitor lizards are large lizards in the genus Varanus. They are native to Africa, Asia and Oceania, but are now found also in the Americas as an invasive species. A total of 79 species are currently recognized. (Source: Wikipedia)
This fairly hefty Lace Monitor was by the track we were walking in the Bunya Mountains, and climbed a tree when we walked past, but then came down and sat in a patch of sun about 5m or so away.
Ricky : “Grandma is back in the hospital. The rehab sent her over because she had a fever and her pain was very bad. They put me in charge of watching her blood pressure. Once it’s back up where it should be, they’ll give her some pain meds. She’s going to be moved into the PCU. That stands for progressive care unit. That means she’ll have lots of people focused on helping just her. Mom was going to leave me home to watch the puppies but then I reminded her how Grandma always asks for me and says, ‘Show them Ricky!!’ Mom said I could come as long as I was good. Between you and me, keeping everyone updated in this way helps Mom cope, too.”
