User's notes
Friends in Cook have sent me a series of photos over a few months of a baby Ringtail possum that tends to come and go weekly from their garden. It built a drey in their hedge. They built a more comfortable and secure drey but the little possum preferred its own structure until today when it rained. The third photo in this set is of the possum sheltering from the rain in its new human made drey. Smart move. See previous sighting 4664352.
