Amazing. Loved the video. Bullet was so active. Don’t know how you keep up with camera on tripod in tow. Did you say before how/why Bullet’s ear became split?
@shutterbug49 if only there was someone making a 'behind the scenes' video of my antics it would probably be hilarious!
I only just started using a tripod and it is going to allow me to take longer video, but yes I had to stop the video, pick up the lot and run, while trying not to alert Bullet. Then I stopped in a spot where the ground was really uneven and I had to balance the tripod on one of it's legs and that was when he was going up the second tree. So things got rather jerky! Still it was fun and it really gives some relief from thinking about the world for a while!
@shutterbug49 oh and his ear - about 2 years ago he was bitten by a dog (not on my property I have no dog) and the leg wound abscessed. I caught him and he went to hospital. When we release koalas by law we have to put an ear tag in (you've seen them on other koalas, the red ones). Well about six months after his release, he managed somehow to rip it out. Hence when you look closely you can see at the inside start there is the round shape of the original hole, and then ouch it ripped right though his ear. Doesn't seem to bother him at all, he lost it about 18 months ago. Quite rare, I've caught koalas that still had their tag in place 14 and 15 years later. So he was just unlucky.
This is a good shot from today's video antics! I was on Youtube looking for a song and just happened to see it. It was fun to watch (and to imagine you running across the field with your tripod and camera in tow).
What a wonderful video Katrina! It was excellent to see him so active going about his normal day - great to see him on the ground too. Thanks so much for giving us the link. :)
