Eastern Whipbird

Eastern Grey Kangaroo with pouch joey.

Fox - a prolific killer of Australian wildlife :( :(

E.G. Kangaroo joey having a foray out of the pouch

And another

This is exciting - a bandicoot and her two babies.

Bandicoots are easy prey for feral foxes and cats so it especially heartening to see some babies

Lewins Honeyeater and Superb Lyrebird

More of the Lyrebird. This particular Lyrebird has been wreaking havoc in the neighbour's garden beds. It has been estimated that a single Lyrebird will displace and turn over approx. 330 tonnes of leaf litter and soil each year. And while waiting for the kettle to boil for the first cup of tea, we've often had the pleasure of watching him work along the edge of the lawn where the leaf litter builds up, raking away in search of worms, centipedes and other invertebrates.
