User's notes
An amazing encounter with a sugar glider at 1pm. It was actively looking for termites on trees and flew approximately 20-25m on 2 separate occasions. It was not bother by us taking photos up close. Perhaps it was very hungry after a series of very cold nights in Canberra, so decided to come out in the day time. I also took a great video of it gliding but can't upload it as the photos and video are over 30Mb
