Surprisingly this isn’t the first appearance of a tiger here! The first was from the 2006 sand sculpting – Tiger Tiger.
Of all the animals in the Zoo the tigers and elephants seem the least comfortable. The tigers always seems to be nervously pacing the same track. After all a gilded cage is still a cage.
The wide view of the earlier Kilsyth Kangaroo photo. The kangaroo appears to have set-up home in the agistment paddock. This slice of green may become a part of Healesville Freeway in the future.
A kangaroo is not exactly what you expect to find in suburbia. This kangaroo seems quite happy in the horse paddock that we can wee in the distance from our kitchen window, Zoe and I saw it a few weeks ago on a late afternoon walk, this time the light was better and it was closer to our side of the paddock.
The recent wet weather has seen mushrooms and toadstools popping up in lawns all over Melbourne.
It seems that yellow-tailed black cockatoos are like buses. After seeing a pair just before Christmas and up pop another pair yesterday while on a bike ride with Zoe.
Another lovely lunchtime surprise, a pair of yellow-tailed black-cockatoos beside one of the Rowville lakes. One of them was on a branch over the footpath and took off as I walked underneath – scaring the living daylights out of me. These are seriously big birds, especially when they are at head height!
