A bit early tonight

I didn't have a pic for this album until 10 mins ago when our friendly brush tail possum came in for his nightly feed - just earlier than usual. We put out fruit scraps for him each night which helps to stop him eating our parsley, basil . . .

A really super capture.

[Sam]

You certainly get some fantastic wildlife visiting you! Great clear focus :)

[Keith Porteous]

Used to have a 'pet' possum when I lived at Jindalee. Used to eat from my hand. Wrong of course but I couldn't really help it. Lovely capture!

[Poppo Livy]

@kporte yeah, we used to have little girl who would eat from our hand. We used to have to block the back door off (when it was open) to stop her coming inside and then 2 males came in and we didn't see the girl again.

[Joanne]

Nice shot and great focus for dim light and a moving subject.

Sweet capture, they are so pretty. We have Ring Tailed possums at Amber on Storm, hear them fluffing around in the trees at night :-)

[Sheila G]

Nicely captured

[Milanie]

My goodness how different they are from my visitor! (except for those tiny little feet) Very nice capture of your friendly visitor. I understand why yours came to visit - not sure about mine!

[Tracey]

Wonderful capture and focus Poppo

[Poppo Livy]

@hermann The ring tails are far nicer than the brush tails. When the kids were young, we hand reared a ring tail that had been orphaned and he behaved just as a pet would. We called him Ringo and he would crawl over the kids, sit on their shoulder etc. Of course as soon as he was old enough we introduced him to the big bad world.

You should add ringo and some the older generation magpie shots to your archive folder....just a thought!

[Rick Schies]

A cool looking creature

[Poppo Livy]

@soniainhk Yeah Son, I was going to do just that. Might as well start now hey?

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Wow! You have the most amazing visitors in your yard.

My aunt that's visiting Australia right now shared a photo with me today of her holding a koala at RainForestStation. I've since added "Hold a koala" to my bucket list.

[Denise Wood]

Great capture :) I too had a regular male possum visitor who would look in through the glass back door, just hoping to get in one day! I did photograph him looking in!

@thresheg @gigiflower @kporte @jdcamdoc @Hermann @tracelee @digitalrn @lyndemc @gilbertwood Thank you everyone. Hope everyone got to see my other possum shot in my "From the Archives" album that followed on from @Hermann and @soniainhk comments above.

[Poppo Livy]

@lyndemc I see that rainforest station is in Kuranda. I bet your aunt falls in love with Kuranda.

[Diane]

Great clear capture Terry! I can only get pics of them in the trees at our place.
