Prime real estate?Having not spotted any (live) tree kangaroos for a couple of months, I was both delighted and surprised to see this from the living room window.
Under the misapprehension that there was something interesting in the Melicope, this tree kangaroo hopped over from the forest and scrambled up the trunk. It realised the mistake very quickly. Then it discovered that down wasn't as easy as up.
After negotiating its way through the tangle of climbing pandan (Freycinetia), it hurtled off into the scrub. It's good to know the neighbours' dogs haven't killed all of them.

How marvellous ... what a fantastic sight! I've never seen then these close-up before ... what a treat that would be!
I've seen a few around the place --- sometimes as many as three in a tree --- but this is the first time one of them has wandered so close. I was pleased!
Oh, MAN, I wanna fly down and check it out! 1st the list of all these bird species I've NEVER SEEN (of course), and then that adorable fuzziness. =) Thanks for sharing that lovely scene.
Until you do, I'll keep the pics coming!
Thanks for some more very cute photos! Plus I like the view from your window.
It's not a bad view, Mick. Even that satellite dish has its place. (I must clean it. The snails aren't doing their job very well.)
That is awesome Bronwen...my skin is turning green here and I feel a bad case of envy coming on!
I was quite delighted! The tree roo made some sneezy noises, which I took to be an expression of displeasure, so I didn't go outside. Took all the pics from the living room.

thanks!! i'll be back!! :)
You're welcome, Laura! There's plenty here to share.
