March was the beginning of autumn here in Australia although you wouldn’t know it here in Queensland. It was hot and humid and the rain we had almost consistently for about 3 weeks (which we badly needed) just made it even more muggy. Nevertheless, I’m sure the birds and animals enjoyed the rain and there was an abundance of food and water for them. So here are some photos of some of the wildlife that visited my backyard.
This is my participation in a monthly event called Wildlife Wednesdays hosted by Tina of My Gardner Says… You can see the wildlife visitors of other participants here.
Hope you enjoyed seeing my wildlife visitors. 🙂
Some great photos! I had never heard of nor seen a baza. As handsome as the peacock is pretty.

A beautiful collection Sue. The dragon is amazing.

Thanks Denis. I think the big dragon is an old girl, she’s been around for a long time. I like seeing them run across the yard on their back legs. 🙂

Such beautiful photos Sue, I very much enjoyed seeing all the Australian wildlife that visit you. I can only hope to be so lucky one day and have a garden that welcomes all of those critters too.

Thanks Laura. Of course, it helps when you live in a house on 2 acres full of gum trees and the state forest is at the end of your street! 🙂

hello Sue, thanks for visiting my wildlife post, your garden is full of wildlife, the birds are interesting and the possums look so sweet though that mother possum has a heavy load, I do like the dragons and the beautiful owl moth, as I am watching wildlife more I’ve noticed how the markings on many wee creatures is a stern face to ward off predators, clever, Frances

Hi Frances, yes it’s amazing what you discover when you look around you more. There always seems to be a purpose for certain colours or markings on creatures, we just have to work out what they are for. 🙂

like the Eastern Water Dragon’s stripes giving camouflage in the grass, I remember learning at school about stripes on Zebras camouflaging them in the long grass, the common grass butterfly blending into the foliage and flowers, it’s very pretty, Frances

Fantastic photos again Sue. I loved the shot of the balanced kookaburras. The owlet moth looks massive. I think that it would be quite a surprise to encounter that face on a live one!

The owlet moth was quite large, about 5cm across, I’d never seen one before.

I enjoyed your post and wildlife very much! It’s hard to pick a favorite, but that little possum with her tongue hanging out, she looks so cute. Will it impede her during life, do you think? You have so many remarkable birds, I’m always astounded. And the photo of the ants and egg–they did look like they were holding a high-level meeting about their egg-moving process. Thanks for joining in–it’s always a treat!

I think that particular possum will be fine, I’ve seen her around for nearly 6 months now. I’ve hand fed her some food and she manages to eat well enough plus she looks healthy, and she’s quite bossy over other possums so I reckon she can look after herself!
