FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Len Deighton (born 1929) is a British author. His publications have included
cookery books and works on history, but he is best known for his spy novels. He
had several jobs before writing his first novel, The IPCRESS File, in 1962; it
was a critical and commercial success. He wrote several spy novels featuring the
same central character, an unnamed working-class intelligence officer. Between
1962 and 1966, Deighton was the food correspondent for The Observer and drew
cookstrips – black-and-white graphic recipes with a limited number of words. A
selection of these was collected and published in 1965 as Len Deighton's Action
Cook Book, the first of five cookery books he wrote. Other topics of non-fiction
include military history. Many of his books have been best-sellers and he has
been favourably compared with John le Carré. Deighton's fictional work is marked
by a complex narrative structure, extensive research and an air of
verisimilitude. Several of his works have been adapted for film and radio.

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The dusky grasswren (Amytornis purnelli) is a species of small passerine bird in
the family Maluridae. The species is endemic to Australia, in which it is
limited to inland areas of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South
Australia. The dusky grasswren inhabits rocky ranges and outcrops, often
preferring tumbled talus or scree, and with areas of thick, long-unburnt
spinifex grasses in the genus Triodia. In the wild, it has been observed feeding
on a range of small arthropods and other invertebrates as well as seeds. The
vocal repertoire of the dusky grasswren is varied and includes trills,
high-pitched whistles, rapid twittering, and high-speed warbling. This dusky
grasswren was photographed in Ormiston Pound in the Northern Territory.
