In the spotlight

In the spotlight
Do you see him? Taken on a spotlighting tour of our local Botanic Gardens. About 25M up this old gumtree, there is a Greater Glider (one of our native gliding possums) blinking into the light from his hole in the trunk. He came out shortly afterwards and you will find him in the PiP (I'd suggest viewing large on black).

These were taken hand-held with the light of a wandering spotlight, which explains the poor qualtiy.

That must have been an interesting night walk! I gather in Australia possums are native and protected whereas in NZ they are considered an invasive pest and best seen dead....

It was indeed interesting. You're right about their status in Aust and NZ : possums are only one of many animals (eg ferrets, foxes, rats, stoats, cats) introduced over there, but seem to attract very negative reactions.

Wow! Beautiful animal and I didn't know they were introduced. Everything was new and different when we were over there - a remarkable time.

Thanks, everyone for your kind comments. It was quite a buzz to see this little animal, the first time I'd seen one of these Gliders in the wild.
