The Silver Creek wildlife

This is one of our resident maggies. I threw out some bread and this guy decided the big piece was his (or hers). I just call "maggie" and one or more come straight away.
And our resident wombat comes out lately in the early afternoon to have a feed. It is a very dull day and this is on zoom so as not to scare the big guy. We are so excited because for 25 years we have lived here and it is only now that the wombat is coming out to eat. We've seen the signs it has lived here for quite a while, but now it ventures right up to the house at night.

This photo is the actual distance to show how close it was to the shed and to the car, and how unperturbed it was that we were so close.

It was a very dark, clouded day, but Wombat continued to eat undisturbed. I hope we'll have the pleasure of it's company when Georgie and James visit..........stay tuned for next month.
