Redhead...although to be honest, Red Squirrels are orange/brown and only called Red because we didn't use the word orange for the colour until many decades after the animal was given its common name. See also: Redshank, Robin Redbreast etc

Devil alert! When I checked this camera on Thursday, my dog decided it was a good spot to poo. I removed the 💩 but next morning had this video of a devil over-marking the same spot 😈

How cool to see this cute little eastern quoll pass our #CameraTrap in the early hours this morning 😍
(time stamp on this camera keeps resetting itself after I dropped it so ignore that…)

A devilish visitor last night - possibly our friend Rose #CameraTrap #WildOz #MammalWatching #lutruwita #Tasmania
This southern brown bandicoot friend has been a regular visitor to our cameras lately, but doesn’t usually pose for the camera quite so nicely 😊 #WildOz #MammalWatching #lutruwita #tasmania
