Tøn Posted February 24, 2018 Love all these photos I'll have to get the camera out and contribute. I'm living about as close to the border of suburbia and rurality (??) as possible, beautiful place but a very noisy main road out the front I can't complain (well, not too much ) but I'm definitely looking forward to finding somewhere that will allow me to get a-cultivatin' -- my landlords are impeccably neat and probably wouldn't appreciate my style of gardening (free-for-all...) I'll be settling for some hanging baskets once I figure out what I want to grow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarenna Posted October 5, 2018 Reviving this thread with a couple of visitors tonight.. Heaviest rain in yonks brought these ancient critters, Fletcher's Frog or Sandpaper Frog, Lechriodus fletcheri, out of the forest floor for a root in my bird bath 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarenna Posted October 6, 2018 And not so much of a backyard visitor - but a back of bed one a few weeks ago. Was lying in bed reading a magazine close to midnight (couldn't sleep) when I felt a movement about 10cm to my right.. Twas the critter in the photo attached. A 1.2m long (and deadly) Stephens Banded Snake, Hoplocephalus stephensii - it was a chilly night and she was looking to snuggle under my doona.. A bit freaky.... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halcyon Daze Posted February 26, 2020 Not sure how this fits in with ecology, but I was pretty stoked to see these two Fallow deer on our bush block recently. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Groot Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) A few critters I’ve seen around our backyard/block in recent months. I love the colour of the bower bird’s eyes. Edited February 2, 2021 by Groot 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
