User's notes

Sorry, this is from December last year, I am catching up with some photos I have. These two possums had discovered some seeds I had hung for visiting birds earlier in the day. I thought I had made the seed possum proof by hanging it from a wire but my first sight of the possums was of one fully out-stretched from the branch where the wire was attached down to the seed block. The second one was slightly more timid than the first one, starting further back and coming slowly forward.
