Wallabies! It makes me so happy to see these lovely little critters. Will there be joeys soon???

If any of these new plantings disappear over night I'm pretty sure I've already identified the prime suspect ... ;)

Swamp Wallaby in the flowers

A few days ago in Manly Dam park, I saw this sweet little wallaby on a hillside covered with pink flowers (Boronia). In recent weeks, there’s been a wallaby on this hill each time I’ve passed by. I don’t know if it’s the same wallaby, but I’m thinking maybe it (or they) like the flowers as much as I do.

Swamp Wallabies are a type of small kangaroo (macropod) found in eastern Australia. They’re dark grey in colour, with rust-red fur around their ears and chest particularly during breeding season. They’ll hop away as you approach, then turn round and watch you from a safe distance.

Although this is primarily a bird blog, I’ve published a few other posts about wallabies too!

Our local Swamp Wallaby was back this afternoon (briefly) to munch on some ferns and grass.

Our Swamp Wallaby spent about an hour in the backyard this morning grazing until it started to rain and she took off in to the bush for cover.

It's been awhile since we've seen her, but our Swamp Wallaby was in the backyard this afternoon.

When I was leaving for work this morning, I noticed our regular Swamp Wallaby in the front yard (who had clearly noticed me too).

She has a joey in her pouch who's clearly getting fairly large.
