Wildlife




We live right in the suburbs, only 15 minutes from the city but there is still alot of wildlife that visits our yard. At the back of our place are four huge gum trees. They are beautiful trees, home to possums, magpies and lorikeets. This week we have had a few extra visitors to the trees four kookaburras and two cockatoos. I didn't mange to get a photo of the kookaburras but the cockatoos hung around long enough for me to get a photo. We also had a green tree snake on the deck. I had to go and have a look to make sure it wasn't a brown snake. Marshall then assured me that poisonous snakes in Australia don't climb. The photo isn't that great, even though the snake is quite harmless I didn't want to get that close!
