Marsu-poo-als

Possums and pademelons poo prolifically. So do tree roos, but they don't start with P. (Unlike possums, which begin their evenings with pints of pee.) (But I digress.)

Following in the (careful) footsteps of Forest Walk Art and Calling Ravens, I've collected and photographed some scats from the garden. They're now forming a petite poo pyramid . I'm sure the flies and dung beetles will be beside themselves with glee.

There'll be a test on this later.
