...well, today I had an awesome day.
You know, it's really really hard staying perfectly still in one spot trying to look like a bit of shrubbery, while taking photographs or video at the same time. Especially as the clicking of the camera would cause the monitor to sit up and look around (as per the first shot). This is a very gravid female heath monitor,
Varanus varius, digging a nest hole into a termite mound.
I have a 16Gb flash card full of images and videos just like these (around individual 190 files for the day, so excluding a few lace monitor shots that would probably make it around 170 just of this gravid female heath monitor's activities). I think she's got another few days' work on that mound.
But of course monitors don't nest in termite mounds, do they, because
someone told us so.
