Occasionally an echidna will come through and, hopefully, not try to dig a nest in my box of cuttings!
a bit hard to move on when they decide to settle in there for the day.
and when the heat is really on there are the baby possums that get distressed with the heat. Luckily we work from home so can do the rounds a few times over the heat of the day and then into the evening and find these poor distressed animals and give them a safe place to recuperate before they get to run up a nearby tree again.What a lovely sight that is.
a couple of days ago on one of the 40 + days a frill neck lizard was affected by the heat and just sat there almost not caring that we were peering at it. suddenly it took off into the shade of the garden and looked back at us from between the potted plants.
The most unusual for us has been the arrival of a koala very early one morning.The birds were making a dreadful din and so I got out of bed and went out to investigate. Perched up in the tree close to my study was a koala! I called hubby but I think he thought I'd gone a bit silly. anyway he came out and was truly amazed. and then "Who can you call at 6.30am??.. anyway we called Neil our local wildlife man who was living a couple of doors down at the time. He was enthralled to see the koala.
over the hours as the day got warmer ( it was to be a hot day) the koala moved around the tree to find the coolest spot ..I enjoyed watching it as I worked . all I had to do was sit up straight and glance out the window to be able to see him.
the next morning he had moved on. .. we were so glad to have been able to witness this little fellow.
as our area has been subdivided and many of the trees have been removed the likelihood of another koala finding refuge in our garden perhaps has increased.
we can only keep a look out, but then again the birds told us in no uncertain terms that something was in their territory that wasn't usually there..
