Young Ringtail Possum who is coming and going from my friends garden in Cook has built a small nest structure in their wisteria hedge. It used small olive branches from their garden trees in the construction. First Recorded a few weeks back in 4650137

Hi @Jennybach, if you ask Professor Google they can show you artificial 'dreys' made from things like fern hanging baskets, which this species will inhabit.

Thank you @DonFletcher . I will check that out and let the photographer know too. We were both wondering.
