| Squirrel Glider |
Sydney has had some extreme weather lately, it was snowing
on Friday and today it is 34 degrees.
After dinner we decided to take advantage of the heat and see if there
is any night time activity in the nearby bush.
We started at a well known spot for owlets, nothing. Did a
big circle of the bush around the ovals, nothing. Rosco is enjoying the night
time sniff and wee but that’s about it for fun.
We decide on one final search and go down one of Stephen’s
mountain bike tracks. As usual Stephen is out in front and Rosco and I are
bringing up the rear guard. In some scraggily casurina’s Stephen spots a bit of
movement. Yeah. He cautiously approaches and discovers a Sugar Glider
descending down a tree. A snap and a flash and the glider is recorded for
posterity. Moving on down the track and then back again we discover another
glider enjoying the sap from the tree. This time it is a Squirrel Glider with a
gorgeous yellow edged belly.
Both are a joy to watch, a
successful night out. Next time we will try and find the nest.
