Hi @rawshorty, can you get us a better ID photo please? I mean one showing a Rakali with a fish in its mouth while dancing on a tightrope to draw attention to the conservation message on the placard it is holding.

:) Yes nice pics @rawshorty Also good to get sightings for rakali at Tidbinbilla. The Waterwatch platy/ratty portal has surprisingly few rakali sightings there.
