Thanks Don. I'd be tempted to delete the sighting but probably best to leave it up just in case someone else posts a sighting of the same faunal scat that can be readily IDed.

Hi @AndyRoo, a bird pellet is generally lower density. Sorry I couldn't do any better for you.

Sorry Don, I can't tell and I don't have the expertise. I assume you have access to the original photos I uploaded rather than the lower res versions that appear on the sighting webpage? In retrospect I should have (a) got higher res and more close up pics and (b) broken the pellet/scat up more and separated out the fragments - as I was travelling with a group I didn't have time to do this. The thing that struck me was the lack of its mass/density and how easy it was to break.

This one has the look of a common dunnart and lacks the colouring of the antechinus

Sminthopsis murina
