As is always the way, the interesting stuff appears while I am without good lenses. Last night a red triangle slug (more of that in a later post) and today a couple of Lumholtz's tree kangaroos (mum and joey) close to the house.
How close?

Of course, spotting them would be easier if they came with yellow frames

Not particularly impressed with the cheap lens

In search of more food

Time to try a different spot

They can move quite quickly

Mum and joey share the limelight

Joey gets camera shy, while mum has a scratch

Male tree roo photographed with the telephoto lens before it went in for cleaning.
(The lens, that is, not the roo.)
You can see why I'm looking forward to getting the lenses back. Also, why I like living here.
