Helpful Posts: A bit more around this last week. A possum hadn't gone to bed and made a tempting target for the birds.
I think it must have taken a knock from a car.
I had company on the 17th Tee.
Banksia flowers.
Dollar bird chick.
Olive-backed Oriole (Oriolus sagittatus) chicks
And the fruit bats are back - a pox upon them all
Heron lunch.

Re: Flora and fauna
All very nice. It looks like a green tree snake to me. There was one trying to get into our house today. The oriole chicks are especially cute.

Re: Flora and fauna
A nice set. That seems a fair size shrimp the Heron has caught. Which golf course? I'll give it a miss.

Re: Flora and fauna
If we don't have doggies, Bill would like at least three possums in our yard...anyway, I pity the possum; the first one is a good shot; I'd prefer to skip the snake...
and those flowers with the bees are really great. Fruit bats -- are they are pest? I like the heron too...

Re: Flora and fauna
It's a Green Tree Snake - full grown at about 4'. Very mildly venomous - if you got bitten you wouldn't be too sick to drink beer.
