This was a bit earlier in the evening. They have finished now and gone into the garden. #possums #mammals

Possum Update: Night has fallen and first sitting is done and dusted. Early ringtails and brushtail #possums have visited. Trying them with some corn 🌽 tonight but not sure who is eating it yet. Chewie the brushtail will be in the second sitting. #mammals

Possum Update: Here is Chewie the brushtail #possum (center) and another fairly young brushtail at the other bowl. This is the second sitting. Early ringtails have been and gone. Everyone will be out in the garden soon for the night. #mammals

A bit later on - First sitting is finished. Off to the garden 😀

Possum Update: All good in possum world tonight (at least here anyway). I have already seen 2 ringtails and 2 brushtails tonight. No sign yet of Chewie the brushtail yet but I am sure she isn't too far away #possums #mammals

Beautiful Australian flora. Courtesy of my Mum's garden. Names are in ALT text. #Grevillea #Callistemon

Possum Update: All good on a Monday night. Been busy last few days and was in the office today. These were the first 2 waiting. 2 brushtails a bit later. Still waiting for Chewie the brushtail to come around. Have a great night #possums #mammals

Possum Update: In late news Chewie the brushtail and friend showed up fashionably late. All good in the possum world. Shortly after a quick snack, these 2 will be out in the garden on secret possum business till morning. #possums #mammals

Possum Update: It's has gotten chilly tonight and the possums are already out and about. You can see the big brushy tail of the brushtail. Chewie is arriving later in the evening at the moment so I have saved one of the snacks for her later. #possums #mammals

Possum Update: All going well today. Had a few ringtails and brushtails through the alfresco dining area already tonight. Waiting for Chewie to show up. She is arriving later at the moment but she sets the camera off so I can see when she arrives. #brushtail #ringtail #possums #mammals

Possum Update: Got back from our holiday in South Australia. Glad to report possums are all going well. Have seen most of the usual suspects tonight. Chewie the brushtail arrived late but I had kept something for her just in case. She is up in the eaves tray enjoying a snack. #possums #mammals

And that is a wrap #Adelaide - a beautiful winters day today.

#KangarooIsland #kangaroos are an endemic subspecies of the Western Grey Kangaroo. They are stickier, short with thicker, dark chocolate brown fur. Glorious inquisitive #mammals

Possum Update: An early common brushtail possum enjoying an apple core. All good tonight. A few others are around including a ringtail in the eaves. #possums #mammals

Possum Update: Bit cool outside tonight. Luckily possums have nice warm fur. Chewie the brushtail was waiting for me along with a couple of rintails in the eaves. Chewies right paw looks find now which is great. They are enjoying a snack before retiring to the garden. #possums #mamnals

Possum Update: A cool and wet night here tonight. 2 ringtails up in the eaves tray looking for a snack. They are happy now. Another ringtail is on the deck. No brushtails at the moment but I am sure they are not far away. #possums #mammals

Just gorgeous brushtail possum 🍃😊😍 #possums #mammals

Possum Update: Well someone is out early tonight. The sun hadn't even gone down and this beautiful brushtail had come from it's day residence. Got to get a photo in some great light. #possums #mammals

Possum Update: A busy night here. Chewie and an adult ringtail up in the eaves trays for dinner. Then later on we have Chewie (on rail) coming down to have a bit more with other brushtail. Then brushtail and ringtail and Mr Ratty finishing off. Busy busy. #possums #mammals

Possum Update: Fairly quiet here tonight. Dinner was put out on the deck just after dusk. A few ringtails and Mr Ratty were here earlier and this brushtail is busy finishing up. Now everyone is out in the garden on secret #possum business. #mammals

Images of #Abla shared by Jo @callissclan.bsky.social back in July 2022 bought a bit of joy into our life as I shared their farm life with my bedridden Dad in Aged Care. I hope this brings some smiles to sad faces. RIP Abla.

And the brushtails are here too. #possums #mammals

Possum Update: Most of the usual suspects are around tonight (although I haven't seen Chewie the brushtail tonight). A couple of ringtails and Mr Ratty are the first visitors. Then this brushtail. It sounds like more #possums are out there now. #mammals
