Our orgeous resident ringtail possum was being swooped by crows in our side garden yesterday evening. I stayed under the tree which scared them off (they circled back a few times) until darkness fell and he could leave safely #australianfauna #photography #possum #crow #nature #amateurphotography

Absolutely love King Parrots. They used to come and visit all the time when I lived in my place that backed onto bushland.

Large male kangaroo laying down on his side on green grass.

Jack is back.

Someone asked me the other day why I call him Jack - look up Jack Thompson 1970s centrefold.

Yesterday was a 7 tawny day! Confirmed three pairs and one solo. The pairs have moved around a bit, the solo has been in the same tree for a couple of weeks at least.

Large male kangaroo laying down on the wet grass.

Meet our resident kangaroo - Jack.

This picture doesn't show how big this dude is; he is probably stands around 5ft 11".

We give him his space as he is a wild animal but he is getting use to us.
