I had been wondering why one of the branches of the Melicope in the front garden had developed a bit of a sag.



I was going to blame the coppery brushtail possum, who climbs the tree in the evening to watch what's going on in the soap opera that is the pademelons' world.

Oh, the shame!

But then I saw the true culprit engaged in a neat balancing act. I suspect this turkey is going to work its way through all the branches until every one of them points downward.
