FOX…

We’ve not seen a lot of birds on our wildlife camera lately, partially because it is winter and also because I have some doubt about its functioning. However, it is producing lots of video about nightly escapades of local wildlife, mainly possums and the occasional wallaby.

I wasn’t expecting a fox, however! Definitely not a welcome visitor! For our European friends and relatives, Foxes were imported in the 1800s for the “pleasure” of settlers. They multiplied and ravaged local wildlife, which had no natural enemies. More here…

Nighttime visitors

It’s been raining and the birds don’t need our “facility”, but here is what goes on at night. The camera uses infrared to “see in the dark” and it regularly catches possums ferreting around at night. This fella is probably looking for food rather than a drink, as Joy occasionally disposes of stale bread around the rocks.

I wasn’t expecting a little creature like this though…

Looks like a mouse to me…
