A treat for a long weekend afternoon if you couldn't get out of the house. These are some of our beautiful wildlife and the sounds they make.

Of course the magpies start to dismantle it for parts immediately after figuring out it wasn't useful for anything else.

Ah, Unidan, the jackdaws pine for you still....

I'm no Unidan as I am am not an ecologist but I'd be ecstatic if we had an Aussie Unidan here, just not one into vote fraud.

Just remembered: the wallaby that was startled was a juvenile while an adult one had a good look and even looked behind the mirror to see if there was a wallaby there, using logic after sniffing the mirror. Some really interesting responses. And for the fatty echidna not even registered 😆
