Before starting I must mention that whilst paddling back down Cuttagee Creek yesterday we heard and witnessed 8 Glossy Black Cockatoos flying across the Creek. L and I saw what I am presuming is the same mob when we were driving out our track at 8.30am on 22nd April. Glossy Blacks are a rare sight around here and I have only seen them once before, years and years ago, back when I was still riding.
Here we go.
What's this?
A Bandicoot, busy - nose down into the soft ground around the pond
And again,
A quick check of the surrounds
before getting back the business of finding food. The times on the footage record that he spent at least 16 minutes at the pond.
It was all quiet on the camera front until the Bandicoot came back again at 2.46am (if it is the same one)
for another 'nose around'
It's the next day now and nothing but a squillion pics of Wonga Pigeons and the odd New Holland Honeyeater until a Swamp Wallaby comes along
An hour or so later and it is the old Swampy's turn
The other day L and I saw a Swamp Wallaby with a white tip on its tail cross Murrah River Rd. All the Swamp Wallabies we saw in South Gippsland (which like here was lots) had white tipped tails, but this was the first we had seen since being here.
Speaking of tails this shot of the old fella shows how long and thick are the tails of Swamp Wallabies.
Swampy out, Wonga in
A Yellow Robin, fearless little birds, comes to join Old Wal
Yellow Robin and the old Wallaby
The Bandicoot is back
The Bandicoot again, but quite good footage of how they move.
That's it. That was the last footage/image the camera took before it's hissy fit.
