Please, never ever use rat poison. Apart from what a horrendous death it is for the rodent, it is also devastating for our owls and frogmouths #NoPoison #PestControl #AustralianBirds #AustralianWildlife #Conservation #EnvironmentCrisis

A few Eastern Whipbirds calling in the backyard just now.

My sharp-eyed passenger spotted this beauty (centralian bluetongue) on the side of the road between Yulara and Alice Springs.

Chewie the brushtail was back this morning. We had no overnight guests this week but the food I've been leaving out has been eaten every night. It was nice to see her. She's had some apple for tea, firmly said no to carrots and will be heading out for a night of #possum business.

The thing I miss most about Australia when I'm not here is the magnificent bird noises - so loud and expressive. No surprise that 2 of my 3 votes for Australia's Favourite Animal Sound are birds: magpie and black cockatoo. My other vote is the poddlebonk because they sound like lovely hot summer nights to me #Australia #AustralianBirds #AustralianAnimals #birds #animals #AustralianFauna #ABC #AustralianWildlife #Wildlife

I have just put up an entry on the Possum TV blog - after a delay of more months than I would like to think. Sun is the featured possum.

Not much to show for today. I had to actually *gasps* do some bloody work!
But I did happen across this brown falcon.
Cold dead eyes, reminds me of a shark.

Went for a wander, found a possum having a nap.
Not too easy to get a good angle on it though.

There's a lake near where I've been working today that is absolutely full of back swans. So I thought I would venture out and see if I could get a few photos.
I was there twice today for about an hour. I have about a million photos but I did manage to snap these two of a pair in low flight across the lake.
I'm not very good at cropping yet, so I've uploaded both. If anyone has some constructive advice, I'd be grateful.

I couldn't not take this one. Hard to resist a bird that poses on a branch like this.
I'd actually pulled over because I saw some bower birds fluttering about. They were too shy but I noticed this fella on the way back to the ute.

If ever there was some cheeks that needed scritching, it's the Red-necked Wallaby.
I saw quite a few today but this one was the only one that wasn't too perturbed by my presence.
Took ages to get one with both ears forward. Those things are literally on swivels!

Beautiful late afternoon light, prime time for perfectly light photos.
