  1. New on my blog: aspi.blog/2025/09/20/nottingha
    A look at the situation at the top of the county championship, including the cock-eyed points system that has contributed to there being a huge number of draws this season and has retained for Surrey an outside chance of winning the title even though they will definitely have a worse playing record than Nottinghamshire. Also a photo gallery.

    a great article, but how did they fail to mention the wonderful Lord Howe Island Stick Insect, Dryococelus, or the tree lobster???

    Now that the rats have been extripated, will they re-introduce the tree lobster?

  3. I saw a Noisy Miner (the bird, not a rowdy extractive industry worker) fail to grab something from the road, stopped to look, and saw this splendid stick insect marching towards me. I picked her up, took some photos, then deposited her on a nearby tree.

    Great find. Note the original photo is up side down relative to yours.

    The wings are also blue-red and very cute.
