Wildlife Report

After a couple of months without a visiting the creek the start of a few months suggested that I should perhaps pay a visit and see what is going on.
I enjoyed meeting a few of my old friends although in otherwise it was quite upsetting observing the general deterioration of the walk and to observe some quite drastic and unnecessary pruning. Even worse was the removal of a complete dead tree in which a family of Brushtail Possums used to live and nearby the removal of a perfectly healthy tree in which my friend “Tatty” the Coppery Brushtail Possum formerly roosted and was frequently visited by one or more Green Ringtails.
I did catch up with “Mrs Green” a Green Ringtail in the trees to the left of the entrance to Allumbah Pocket and “Whitespot”, another Green Ringtail in one of her regular trees.
At The Other Side a handsome Coppery Brushtail Possum was in a tree close to the fence.
In a bush nearby a Willie Wagtail came to say hello and I also saw a Spotted Catbird who was pleased to have his photo taken.
Under the Highway Bridge several small groups of Large-footed Fishing Bats were sighted.
In the trees on the East Bank a handsome young Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo was a willing participant to a lengthy photo session.
