While not thick on the ground there was enough to be seen to keep even the grasshopper minds of kids interested.
I managed to get these images of Ring-Tailed Possums (Pseudocheirus peregrines) which is a common species - in fact I often see it running about on the phone and power cables outside my house!
As we were turning for home a Tawny Frogmouth (Podargus strigoides) flashed across the path in front of us and took up residence on a dead stump. I was a very nice bird to see.

You can find more pictures rom around the world at Our World Tuesday.
Enjoy the pictures.

The description of “grasshopper” minds seems fitting for people in general sometimes. The possums are such cute little creatures. And since taking pictures at night has its challenges I like how the eyes of the owl came out so clear under flashlight. :)

Your possums are much better looking than ours! That's a fact. Love the Frogmouth, too! Really nice shots, Stewart!
Great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Night hike would be so much fun. I just love the name "tawny frogmouth".
great snaps in the night lights Stewart; a special bonus getting the tawny as well
What fun and very cool sightings. I love the possums and the frogmouth is awesome! Great post, Stewart!
Your wildlife is so different from anything I've seen anywhere else. I'm always amazed at the variations. That is one pretty little bird. The ring-tailed possums are cute, too.
