I'm so thrilled – the moon is very bright tonight and when I let the dogs out, I stepped outside too, just to enjoy the light and what do I see but two dark round shapes high up in the leafless branches of the plum tree! Possums! Squeee!

I quietly told them how happy I was to see them and then ducked back inside to get my phone to see if I could get a picture. It's not a great picture, but you can hopefully make them out

I didn't know possums climbed trees. I rarely see them since I'm rarely out at night these days, but when I have, they have been on the ground. Maybe I should look up in the trees!

@joyce I think ours live in trees and prefer not to hang out on the ground – too many predators! These ones are ring tail possums, big fans of fruit, if my poor locut tree is anything to go by!

@teadrinker @joyce when I lived in the Perth hills as a lad, the possums only lived in the trees when they couldn't find a home in our ceiling. Loud buggers, when they choose to be.
