Devil alert! When I checked this camera on Thursday, my dog decided it was a good spot to poo. I removed the šŸ’© but next morning had this video of a devil over-marking the same spot šŸ˜ˆ

How cool to see this cute little eastern quoll pass our in the early hours this morning šŸ˜
(time stamp on this camera keeps resetting itself after I dropped it so ignore thatā€¦)

This southern brown bandicoot friend has been a regular visitor to our cameras lately, but doesnā€™t usually pose for the camera quite so nicely šŸ˜Š

I saw all three species of North American bear in 2022. Super cool highlight.

Donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever get tired of bettong videos just metres from our back door šŸ˜ 1/2 Hereā€™s a female with a joey tucked safe in her pouch

Itā€™s not the highest quollity video, but look who we spotted on our last night šŸ˜ A dark morph eastern quoll - the first one weā€™ve seen in a while

A busy night to be a bettong last night, with 12 videos in 2 hours showing (possibly the same) eastern bettong hopping around the forest collecting nesting material curled up in its tail. From the clearest pics, it looks as though she has a joey in her pouch šŸ™‚

Iā€™ve learned that the file size limit for uploads here means that I canā€™t post more than 10 seconds of my footage at a time. So hereā€™s the next 10 second snippet of our bettong friend gathering new bedding materials. It moved off camera shortly afterwards

Did you know that bettongs have prehensile tails and use them to collect and carry new bedding? This eastern bettong visited our last night. You can see it gathers bark and sticks with its little front feet, then uses its big back feet to kick them into the bundle curled in its tail. This bettong has a big bundle - after some very wet weather we had a dry sunny weekend so perfect time for a new mattress :)

Introducing another friend from our . This is a southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus). These marsupials dig nice little holes in the forest floor to find food (invertebrates, fungi, fruits) and in the process they contribute to important ecosystem processes like nutrient and water cycling, seed and spore dispersalā€¦ If you donā€™t know me yet youā€™ll soon learn that bandicoots are some of the best Australian mammals ;)

Potoroo video number 3 - possibly the same pair of potoroos seen on our other camera (about 50m away) yesterday evening

Potoroo video number 2 - probably a male following the first (female?) potoroo

This morningā€™s treat was daylight potoroos! These are long-nosed potoroos (Potorous tridactylus) - very cute little . Iā€™ll post two related videos as replies.

1/3 I suspect the smaller potoroo in this 1st video is a female

2/3 the larger potoroo in the 2nd video is probably a male following her around

3/3 in the 3rd video, a similar pair of potoroos on our other camera from yesterday evening, meaning he may have been following her all nightā€¦

Best sighting yet; a baby on Mum's back! I need to give @WithersCompPhys the camera more often.

As we release an eastern , he looks back as if to say, "I will remember you."
And then he was gone.

I love watching walk. It's like someone is learning how to operate a remote-controlled robot.
