Common Ringtail Possum (Pseudocheirus peregrinus)

Cold, wet and harassed by Noisy Miners, this poor little guy wasn't having a great time of it.

Taken with an OM-1 Mk II / M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO

It’s so true: they - kookaburras - are proficient food thieves & will steal the food right out of your mouth if you don’t get all of it in there fast enough. Seen it happen. Each party got half that sausage. And then, as you say - queue tears. 😭
The thing is, they’re such an attractive bird: attractive to look at, great laugh, pretty feathers, colour scheme etc. that you’re lulled into admiring them… and that’s when they strike. 😆

Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides)

This was taken in near total darkness, with a hand held, 300mm 1 second exposure. I love this camera and lens!

And thank you to the Tawny, who was happy staying perfectly still for my long exposure :)

Have wandered down to the Lagoon to check on the birds (yep, still there), and we'll likely walk to the pub for dinner tonight, because we'll be home tomorrow and I can't be arsed cooking.

Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae)

This fine bird came up on to our back deck looking for a handout. Which is strange, because we'd never seen the bird before, nor feed them, and they've never come back since. But still, they seemed to enjoy the little bit of meat they got (You aren't meant to feed them mince on a regular basis, but, this was a one off).

Black Flying Foxes (Pteropus alecto)

Taken with the 168mm lens on the Mavic 4 Pro drone. The 168mm lens is great, because it lets me get close enough for a good photo, but also remain far enough away that the animals aren't disturbed by the presence of the drone.

Herston, Brisbane/Meanjin, Australia
