Barellan Point Wildlife

While we were staying at Corinne’s parent’s house at Barellan point in Brisbane we managed to capture some pictures of the local wildlife. 

We saw the toads earlier in the blog which we caught at night.  Here are some of the prettier inhabitants.17 01 11_1887-1_edited-1

Female Brush tailed possum.  I know its a female because we could see the young one in its pouch.  This possum spends the day sleeping in the shed and then comes out at night gets a bit of fruit and jumps about on the tin roof.  There are quite a few possums around the area.

Climbing back up to go to bed for the day.  Ten minutes later this possum was passed out on its back with its front leg hanging over the metalwork.

Scaly breasted lorikeet.  These guys are nectar and blossom eaters and are very common all along the East coast of Australia.
