Trail Camera 5 March - 18 April 2024

 Disturbingly, feral animals triggered the camera during this period. However making its debut on camera is a sugar glider - very exciting.

This time I've left out all the usual pics and footage of Kangas and Wallabies.

First off we have a Brush Tailed Possum

A female Satin Bowerbird comes for a drink and is disturbed by a White Naped Honeyeater quickly followed by a water bombing Sacred Kingfisher.

Is this a Grey Shrike Thrush?

A frog in the pond!

Definitely a Grey Shrike Thrush this time - one of our favourite garden visitors

The Bandicoot

Oh no, a rabbit, hopefully just passing through, They are in the region, but so far none have taken up residence on the property. I suppose its too much too hope it is a hare!

Grey Fantail and unidentified bobbing bird, so dubbed because it looks at reflection in the window and with tail up and head lowered it bobs up and down singing madly (song a bit like the Grey Shrike Thrush). Can anyone identify?

Not one but two Bandicoots

Red Wattlebird

And making its debut, the Sugar Glider

But then, also making its debut on camera, a long dreaded fox,

checking things out

At least one of the Bandicoots survived the fox visit

And the other feral - Rattus Rattus. You may remember when we found a Diamond Python in the engine bay of our car in December last year.  Well, I am happy to report that the rats, as of a couple of weeks ago, have not yet returned to resume residence in said engine bay. However we continue the running battle with them in the LC's engine bay. How I hope some pythons return one day.

On another night, there goes the little bugger up the tree

Couldn't help myself, love the Swampies

And lastly, a flock of Red Browed finches come for a drink. Note the regeneration following the fires - a lot of it weeds. The pic below is taken 6 weeks after the fire.
