User's notes

I have suggested Eastern Grey on the basis of the distance between claw tip and trailing edge of the pad: 17 cm. It is many decades since the last record of Eastern Grey for the Dryandra Street Woodland. I searched for this animal but could not locate it. This is probably a stray from Black Mountain Nature Reserve.

Tracks of a single animal continued to be sighted until 1 Dec 2020. On that date an injured animal was sighted next to Barry Drive and reported to the authorities. Very bad damage to one of the hind legs means that it probably had to be put down.
