Now I would like one of them.
Wildlife here is quite diverse and highly enjoyable (well within limits).
Over the years have had-
wallabys, echidna, Native Hens, Eagles (there were 2 today suspended above us), several hawks, including a White Goshawk, Rail, Southern Boobook, Fantails, Pardalots, Wrens, Robins, Honey Eaters etc.
Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo - these are beautiful birds.
Wild Ducks. Breed like mice and unfortunately provide food for the hawks.
This very persistent fella lived here for ages and banged on just about every window of the house.

- a great songster
Bats, frogs, skinks.
Snakes are common, none this year, but last year one bit the bull and paralysed the poor thing.
Eventually recovered and got his interest in the cows back.
But what takes the cake is the local possums!
I decided enough was enough so borrowed a trap! Council wanted it back before a catch.
Next night there was a heck of a scratching in the flue and then silence!
Found this in the firebox.
He was sent off in an environmentally friendly way and I reordered the trap!

- cute?
Came home tonight and more noises from the firebox.

- any bidders need to be quick
He's watching me as I type this up.
Might have to patent this thing - works a charm. The 'Kent Possum Trap', comes with 25 year warranty.
Also used to have a corvustasmanica occasionally visit, but he hasn't been seen for a while.
