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".

    Marvelous photography. I struggle to capture good bird shots.

    I love how sharp his (her?) eye is! They are such delicate creatures.

    Thank you for joining us again this week for Photo Friday!

      I have no idea if it's a male or female or even what type of thornbill it is. It's the first time I've ever managed to capture one in flight though.

    Avian subjects are some of my favorites. :) These are great shots - perching birds are the hardest for me to photograph, with their quick little movements!

      You need fast shutter speed and lots of luck!

      Thanks Ian. It's my first success on getting a small bird in flight.

    What lovely captures! I only manage to take photos of birds from afar, but then again, I only have a point and shoot camera :) #animaltales.

      It's had to get birds without a zoom lens.

      I wish it had been a bit sharper. Fingers crossed for next time.

    Lovely shots and I love seeing birds from around the world. Are thornbirds common birds?
    Thank you for adding a totally new (to me) bird to #AnimalTales

      Yes they're everywhere here, but it's hard to tell them apart from lots of other small brown birds unless you can get a photo to see the details. (well for me it is) I do feel like I was cheating a bit linking this up to Animal Tales this week, I thought I had an animal post to share but then I couldn't find it..

    Amazing capture! I love the first photo because of the movement and I can see the detail on his wings. #wwwblp

      I was quite surprised when the wings weren't a complete blur, the shot was in the shadows and I wasn't game to increase the shutter speed any more then that.
