Fat,fluffy and totally fearless. Kookaburras are really impressive and charismatic birds and I am always pleased to see them in my garden. Legend has it that it's good luck to hear their call, though it's easy to imagine they are mocking you :D
Hello all!
Firstly I want to apologize for the quality of these images. I am not much of a photographer really, and I was still learning to use my camera when I took these. Also this little Ringtail Possum never stopped moving around.
I rescued him from the cold wet grass one morning. He must have fallen from his mothers back and he was almost frozen solid poor mite. Still as you can see he was full of life once he warmed up and I was in a hurry to get him to the carer which is yet another excuse for these terrible photos. Being a nocturnal critter he wasn't too happy about posing in the daylight.
He was in good condition though so I am hopeful he survived. I am always rescuing wildlife even here in the inner city. The most upsetting is finding Tawny Frogmouth Owls that have been paralysed by eating poisoned rats, so please, if you love wildlife never use any kind of poisons!

Went to the botanical gardens early this morning and ended up down by the pond where the ducks were sunning themselves on the pavement.
It's good because there is no-one there at that time of the day. Apart from the birds.
