Here's why.
After the depredations of the lorikeets, the possums don't seem such bad visitors. Even Penny wasn't bothered by them. She usually barks at them but took no notice of this one.

More backyard activity
It is summer, the time of ripening fruit and lots of fruit eaters. A couple of nights ago our dog was spending quite some time out the back.

This is the first time we have had sunflowers. The bees have been loving them.

Awww, SO CUTE!!
Yes Michelle, they are cute and we are quite happy to have them around. They are especially cute when they have their babies clinging to them.
How are you going with the new year, have you got your course work yet? Good luck with it - and the new business.
I haven't got my books yet - madly weaving until I do!! :P
I drove past a house with big sunflowers hanging down their heads, heavy with seeds, so it'll be good to get a photo of these ones when the seeds form.
I'll try to keep alert, camera in hand.
We put out chopped apple on the feeder every night for our possums, and they eat it, then disappear for the night without touching anything in our garden. Not that we've got much in the way of fruit trees - just a loquat tree in the back yard which is usually got at by lorikeets and other birds long before we are even aware there was any fruit.
Thanks Gina, maybe we should try that. Our latest theft has been of a passionfruit that we have been watching ripen. Not sure what took it. Oh well, at least the local wildlife is well-fed.
