Changing of the guard

Just as soon as the whole Freshwater Crayfish invasion had started it has finished. Now we are occasionally seeing 1 crayfish if we are lucky. But there appears to be a changing of the guard. Although the moon was about 60% waning this week, it has been so late rising, it is as good as a new moon - which is great for spotting nocturnal marsupials such as Pademelon and Bandicoot (they tend to hide from predators when it is too light.) This week we have spotted 9 Bandicoot and 13 Red Necked Pademelon.
