No red and white stripes, but this shows how hard the koalas can be to spot. Gotta keep my eyes peeled out there!
Thanks to all who are following and commenting, it's much appreciated that you enjoy this with me.
Nope. cant spot him. I find them hard to see when they are up really high. Fortunately one of the trees they like in our garden is not so tall which makes for easy spotting.
@milaniet@cruiser@kareenking They certainly blend in, and these are pink bloodwood trees which are not primary food trees, but koalas often shelter in this little section. The Forest Red Gums, which are a primary, have the stripy bark in exactly the same colouring as the koalas, good camouflage!
@hermann good try Sally, but that has eliminated looking for him in one of the 4 trees whose trunks show in the photo. That means, as a second hint the koala is not in the side trees that we can't see the main trunk of either...
@salza Indeed Sally, I have to just ride along on the quad bike very slowly and scan, then stop and scan, then ride and scan ... Often if I think there are more on the property than I've seen I have looped 3 times some days before spotting one I was looking for. So I know that I must often miss at least one that is out there
@gilbertwood Yes, Denise, right indeed ... I wonder if you guessed or you can really see him :) I ended choosing the image size to try and give the best representation of about how it looks when I peer into this stand of trees :)
think there are at least four of them in the two furthest trees but not sure if any of them are the real one. Now we need w photo indicating exactly were it is.
@gilbertwood hooray Denise, it's definitely an 'eye' you develop. I know I still miss some as I go spotting every day, but my eye is improving constantly :) well spotted!
