Text with photo of mother and baby lizard from the Darling Range Wildlife Shelter in Perth.
We have an update on Lizzo, the massive 695g bobtail we posted about earlier who was rescued during the black walks from Alison Baird Reserve in Kenwick.
On Sunday she gave birth to a massive 150g baby! That's huge for a newborn bobtail - normally they're around 80-100g.
Lizzo’s exceptional condition and this big, strong baby are clear signs of her robust pre-fire health, thanks to the reserve’s rich biodiversity, abundant food from its rare plants, and vital wetlands.
As bobtails are super vulnerable in bushfires, her survival and successful motherhood are nothing short of amazing.
Congratulations to Lizzo and her beautiful, chunky little one!
This new life is a powerful symbol of resilience and hope for the eventual recovery and repopulation of this special reserve.

Congratulations Lizzo on having a massive, enormous, chonky, giant baby bobtail

Every spring during marsh tit surveys I check on the Monks Wood bottle, now lain here undisturbed for at least 72 years, but prob since WW2 when a pigpen was here. Huntingdonshire Brewery closed in 1954. Still a few smashed snail shells: Song Thrushes have used it an anvil for generations.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

Angled-down image of a frog perched on a brown leaf and facing left. The frog's principal ground color is black, with yellowish-white stripes running from the nose through the eye and down the back to the legs. A second stripe runs along the lower jaw, terminating at the front legs. The legs are a light brown and there is a triangular flashmark of bright yellow at the top of the thigh. The frog also has some dark brown blobs attached to the lower back - four tadpoles, hanging on until the male frog can transport them to a suitable source of water.

Know what doesn't suck right now, or ever? Nature. This Pale-striped Poison Frog (Ameerega hahneli) was hopping across an open area at our NE Peru field station, on his way to find a suitable wet place to deposit his tadpoles (such as the axils of a bromeliad). #herps #frogs #NaturePhotography 🌿
