Well I never… look what the Terrograph just emailed me… imagine that. OK, let’s not imagine that. But it would be poetic justice, surely?

OK, I think only longnosed bandicoots make this tooting noise, so that’s what it probably is…
Bandicoot – longnose or northern brown? Well it wasn’t brown,it was light grey. Hard to focus in the dark, but I did my best. Luckily it wasn’t perturbed by me following it around although it expressed displeasure and possible frustration when encountering fences and the new chicken wire for the chook run. It “tooted” fairly loudly.
It also stopped and dug at intervals, probing with its long nose. It “ran” with a kangaroo-style, almost hopping but remaining on all fours. Small scats, otherwise similar to our local brushtails. It reminded me of a ringtail until I saw the back legs and of course the nose. Tail was slightly striped, otherwise lightgrey all over, flecked with black.
Found after 10PM in our Saratoga, NSW garden.

Parrot vs dove_0673

King parrots are a timid bird, especially for a parrot. Usually they wait their turn at the feeder, but these large pigeons, what I call ‘bronze doves’ but are probably something else, offered an opportunity to display their harder edge. It was close, but the parrots won.

Well not so much an attack as a sort of quiet, on all fours but ‘semi-hopping’, tooting digging expedition here and there in the garden. Explains some of the overnight holes and smaller-than-expected “possum” scats we find.

Narrow, slightly bendy, lined with double-storey shops. I remember Brennans and its hydraulic messaging system, the Newtown Bridge, the tram shed, the Elizabethan theatre. Well some – much – of it is still there and worth prerserving. Luckily, by quirk of planning, the station and the tram sheds are still largely intact, and lining up for some preservation.
Read on for some local history… Kingston Farm, O’Connell Town, the Newtown Store, Burren Farm… I stumbled over this (via @Stilgherrian)

Strangely impressive, someone with money to burn put a 2CV body on a Ferrari chassis… seems to burn more petrol now http://sn.im/rk4rpMobile post sent by gtveloce using Utterli.  Replies.

If you really must burn petrol, use an efficient engine. Alfa’s new 1750cc motor gives up 200BHP using a turbo, carefully and cunningly timed direct injection, unusually massive valve overlap (for a road car) and creative cam timing. That means a small 4 cylinder does the work of a V6 without turbo lag and less fuel burned… http://sn.im/rk4lsMobile post sent by gtveloce using Utterli.  Replies.
