Wilkerson Rd |
Pig, Feral |
At least seven. Three adults and four piglets walking up my block from the direction of the road towards the reserve. I reported them twice to BPCA last summer when there weren�t as many. Although they seemed interested nothing was done . Will report again tomorrow. |

Kangaroo, Western Grey |
There are always kangaroos here but since this hot weather I�ve seen at least two big males coming for a drink at the back fence. Over the years I�ve been here the big males have not usually shown themselves. |

Wilkerson Rd |
Kangaroo, Western Grey |
Very hot day. Numerous kangaroos seemingly taking turns and lining up to drink all during the day. Several adult females with young, one large male, one female with a joey looking out of her pouch. Although I have several water points, they mostly favour the one at the back fence. They vary in their tolerance of me. Some wait close by when I refill the tub, and others dart away as soon as I walk outside. The big males seem the most jumpy (no pun intended). |
