this koala had to do some quite tricky manoeuvres to reach the tender leaves on the tree in our front garden

Wow how lucky to have a koala visit your garden, they must live nearby?

[Carl Thomas]

@mrsbluesky we are lucky to have koalas in our garden and the surrounding bushland. Now is the time of year they are looking for a mate and if we are lucky they come down from the trees for a bit of a walk

[Chris K]

@carlt thanks Carl they were very high up and I was surprised the shot came out at all

[Chris K]

@sangwann thankyou Dione. We hope there will be more closer encounters this summer

[Chris K]

@golder365mjsmith thanks Michael. They are fascinating creatures

[Chris K]

@yaorenliu you dont see their limbs whilst they are snoozing on a branch but this one was really stretching for the leaves

[Chris K]

@nanm thanks Nancy. We rush out every time we hear one grunting. we never get tired of watching them

[Chris K]

@deu49097 We are lucky they like a few of the trees in our garden and hope they come down a bit lower sometimes so I can get a better pic

[Veena Gupta]

Lovely capture! A Fav.

[Anjali]

Adorable capture and so lovely that you watched his antics.

[Chris K]

@veengupta thankyou Veena. hope to have more pics as the season wams up

[Chris K]

@anjalikoli you can have a cuddle with one if you come for a visit. Not this one as wild ones can scratch you very badly

[Anjali]

@cruiser I love furries and sure would love a cuddle.

[Brianna]

Haha, this guy seems to know what he wants and how to get it! Lovely shot!

[Chris K]

@lilminimonka these cute little koalas sure are fun to watch and our dog always has a special kind of bark to let us know when they are around.

[Chris Johnson]
