Wildlife Snuggery Crochet Hanging Basket

Meet Leilani a Possum in the care of Kinjarling Marsupial Rescue.  When this Snuggery was hung in her enclosure Leilani was quick to snuggle up in it and that is how these crochet hanging baskets came to be called a "Snuggery".

I just realised I've been referencing my long zoom lens as a 50-250mm but's it's really a 55-250mm.

      He's a peewee. They've been misclassified for years until modern DNA testing. Wikipedia says '.... was traditionally placed somewhere in-between the mud nest builders and the currawong family (both of which look rather similar) but, in the light of modern DNA studies, is now grouped with the monarch flycatchers.'

    Fab capture - what sort of bird is it? Is it an Australian magpie?

      It's a peewee or magpie lark, they aren't actually a lark or a magpie - go figure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie-lark

      I've always known it as a peewee. According to Wikipedia 'It has many common names, including peewit, peewee, mudlark (in Victoria), and Murray magpie. It was known as yilimbirraa among the Yindjibarndi people of the central and western Pilbara'

      It helps when they hang out on the ground at the carpark and are so used to humans you can almost reach out and touch them! (That and fast shutterspeed)

      The secret is fast shutter speed and birds that aren't too shy.

    I've never seen a bird like that - he's really beautiful, and your photo is so sharp - it looks like he's right beside the lens!

      He just about was right beside the lens. 2 meters (a couple of yards) maybe. He was very obliging. Peewees are very common in urban areas here. Totally unremarkable to a local :o)
