Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)Observer
janineduffyDescription
Scat and tree scratches on Brown Mallet, Eucalyptus astringens, tree that a male koala was seen roosting in the day before. Scat and scratches less than 24 hours old. The bark of this tree is very soft, and marks easily. The freshest scratches have a light green tinge (pic 7 & 8), progressing through a light reddish brown (pic 5 & 6) to dark red brown (pic 10). Fibres are lifted at edges of fresh scratches (pic 8). Some older scratches can be seen too, but they have healed to a dull grey and have no lifted fibres. Pics 6 & 8 are duplicates of 5 & 7 zoomed and cropped to show detail .

Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps)Observer
janineduffyDescription
This creature flew over me across open sky, calling. I first thought nocturnal bird, but on reflection I think Kreffts Glider. I couldn't see it, only hear it - sky was fairly dark at the time, but I'm pretty sure it was small - I think if it was large I would have seen something.
Any other thoughts?

Observation duplicated for Koala.
Koala mother and joey in a large Yellow Gum, sitting next to a White-winged Chough nest in construction. Adult choughs were seen trying to add mud to nest, but seemingly bothered by close proximity of koalas. Pics show one adult chough arrive with beakful of mud, but did not place it.

Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)Observer
janineduffyDescription
Interesting observation of two adult males in one tree. Observation occurred in an area that both males were seen to use at different times. The younger male "Bungaleenee" (pic 5) was higher in the tree. He had been known to live in this area since 2011. The older male "Vincent" (pics 3 & 4) was lower in the tree, he had been known to live in this area since 2008. The younger male was seen in this tree alone at 8.25am, so Vincent must have moved here between then and this observation. They were watched from 11.07 until 11.32, no action seen.
