I've been doing some writing today. That was after I'd spent some time this morning catching up on yesterday's newspapers. Yes, it is a silly, old-fashioned habit I continue to have.
I did have plans for getting out and about but I didn't. I managed to get as far as the backyard. Again. But still, there is so much going on within and without the boundary fence. At one stage I could hear and or see rainbow and green scaly-chested lorikeets, kookaburras, cockatoos (yes, they're near but not near enough to photograph, yet), butcher birds, magpies, noisy miners and crows...and that was just skyward.
Mama possum made her presence felt too and it wasn't until I trained the zoom and crop on her paw that I realised...that one heck of a set of nails there. I may have heard the skirmish last night too that resulted in that ear injury, and a little while later bub possum became a bit restless too.

Later the birds showed their claws too as they took flight on sunset...
