Sky Puppy ! I finished up around 5pm today, and the fruit bats were starting to leave their roost to go and forage for food. This one flew almost directly at me, and I managed two reasonable shots. #BlackFlyingFox #FruitBat #Bat #AustralianWildlife #WildOz

Since it has been quite wet[1] here today, I thought I'd check in on the nesting Tawny Frogmouth. Poor chap is somewhat damp, but still doing his duty on the nest. [1] 150mm of rain since midnight, as at time of posting. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #TawnyFrogmouth #Bird #Nest

It's been a long while, but I've put another post on the Possum TV blog. https://blog.possum.tv/2026/09/update-24th-sept-2026-blossoms-new-baby.html #PossumsOfMastodon #RingtailPossum #BrushtailPossum #possum #AustralianWildlife #wildlife #PossumTVBlog

A small sample of the "too many frogs to count" I found when leaving the office this afternoon. The usual reeds were covered in tiny frogs. Well in excess of 30. #TinyFrog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #frog

A damp, and slightly dirty Kookaburra on my clothesline the other day. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #LaughingKookaburra

I counted 30 tiny Eastern Dwarf Tree Frogs on the reeds by my walk to the office this morning. Spring is definitely starting to announce itself. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Frog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog

Still five ducklings at work. Generally it's a bad idea to count the ducklings since they tend to not all make it, but so far so good with this brood. #WildOz #AustralianWildlife #AustralianWoodDuck #Duckling #Bird

Found a Kookaburra nesting in a termite nest today. It's dug a nice hollow for itself. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #LaughingKookaburra

Great Egret this morning at work. #bird #bokeh #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #GreatEgret

'twas also a good morning for backlit ducklings. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #AustralianWoodDuck #duckling

Duckling Season has started a little early and we have the first batch of Australian Wood Duck ducklings at work. Five fuzzballs wandering around chomping grass like there was no tomorrow. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Duckling #AustralianWoodDuck

The local lorikeets are becoming braver. As long as they don’t become brats like the cockatoos… #australianwildlife #birds

This morning, I decided to head out in search of wild koalas, since my neighbour had given me a hot tip for some at Lawnton. My first stop though, was at Bullocky Rest, as there were recent sightings. I wandered up and down the peninsula looking at trees, not spotting any, until I stopped to check my phone at the base of a tree, then noticed there was fresh scat on the ground, looked up, and there was one with joey. I found four more at Lawnton. #koala #AustralianWildlife #WildOz

Male and Female Red-necked Wallabies down my street this afternoon. No need to guess which is which. ;-) #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #RedNeckedWallaby #macropod #marsupial
