And THIS is the sort of shot I’ve been searching for in three Saturdays in a row of getting into the national park before dawn to try to set-up for decent views of the local feral deer population.

I think this is a chital deer (Axis axis), despite the lack of spots on this particular individual.

Scheyville National Park, out to Sydney’s west.

A bit noisy in the blacks - the light was still low and it was a bit foggy.

Now why didn't we think of tempting the blasted fox that's plaguing our existence at the moment with a fake Harvey Norman VIP night!

At 10.30pm / 12.30am, again at 2.00am and around 5.00am over night, when the evil bastard usually sets off the security cameras around the poultry yards, rather than chasing it with a bloody big stick I'm going to try pitching fake invites at it, with the fox trap set up inside the door of the address...

Rambo the fox! Wanted dead or alive (preferably dead)

All they wanted was a woke endangered animal safe space but Rambo ruined everything

“Feral species are the leading cause of extinction of native animals in Australia.” Invasive Species Council. “The choice is we have Australian native flora and fauna, or have ferals killing them all"

A feral invasion is destroying our once-pristine national parks

“The wilderness is now largely dominated by feral animals. When I was a child you never saw a horse.”

The Sydney Morning Herald

@FonDenton I was there once nearly 20 years ago. So cool to have them come over the dunes and walk along the beach, just yards from me.
