Purple Loosestrife

A possum's midnight feast

One of the resident Ring-Tail Possums eating pittosporum leaves late at night. I must try to get some better pics.

Grey Butcherbird (Cracticus torquatus), found in forested areas and parkland all over southern Australia and parts of the northern coasts. This one has come looking for dog bones to pic at the meat.
