Albert has insisted I post some of his recent animal studies.
The first is a well-fed pigeon.
This chap is called, I think, a water dragon. He's worth clicking on, to see his full majesty.
Here in NSC, we have lizards too, and there's currently a fat healthy one resident in the garden. He's got no tail, probably thanks to the dog. For him, the dog's death must be a big relief. It all balances up. I'll get a photo of him some time, but meanwhile here's one of his mates on the road in front of the house. The dog's saying - it wisnae me! Or I'm sure you can think of a caption.

ReplyDeleteI like the Water Dragon.
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy the geckos in AZ when I lived there. They would drop their tails if you scared them.
I tried not to, but there was one that used to live outside the back door. We took turns startling each other.
Nanners. We have tiny ones here, that drop their tails. The tails go on wagging like crazy.
ReplyDeleteI say!

ReplyDeleteThree sheep is incorrect. And not all of the ridiculous ones are true, as that would be ridiculous.
MM III
I say!
