This trail camera melted in a wildfire, but the memory card – and the images of the fire – survived

This is a swamp wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) that wandered into my camera-trap set-up, and was captured on video on the trail-camera.

Swamp wallabies are always triggering my trail-cameras, and I have many camera-trap photos of swamp wallaby butts - but what was interesting about this one was that it appears to yawn.

I think this is an older female. She has a pouch, but also some bald patches on her face.

Trail-camera video of a bandicoot that wandered into my camera-trap set-up over the last fortnight. Unfortunately the batteries had already failed on the camera-trap, so I didn’t get any photos to accompany the black-and-white video.

The flicker appears to be a common problem with the infra-red illumination on the trail-cameras.

For my camera-trapping, I have been scouting a location where a log crosses a creek, on the assumption that a wide range of wildlife should be funnelled into the bridge across the natural barrier.

While my trail-camera was in place on the log over the last few weeks, the creek flooded in the rain, and I think I may have caught a glimpse of a rakali or water-rat (Hydromys chrysogaster), working its way up the flooded creek.

This is probably a bit obscure - but I had a cool glimpse of an interesting behaviour turn-up on one of the trail-cameras yesterday.

It happens so fast that it’s hard to be sure what the animal is, but I believe it’s an eastern pygmy possum, carrying nesting material in its prehensile tail.

Oh, what I would do to be able to capture this in the camera-trap.

I use trail-cameras to capture video to scout for locations to set-up my camera-trap. Because they work off passive infra-red detectors, they’re also triggered by movements in sunlight and shadows, so I normally only bother looking at the night-time videos.

I just happened to go back and look at some of the daytime videos off one of the trail-cameras, and was delighted to see this bushrat run into cover and then re-emerge.
