A trio of tree roos

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

(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.
