A small sample of the "too many frogs to count" I found when leaving the office this afternoon. The usual reeds were covered in tiny frogs. Well in excess of 30. #TinyFrog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #frog

A damp, and slightly dirty Kookaburra on my clothesline the other day. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #LaughingKookaburra

I counted 30 tiny Eastern Dwarf Tree Frogs on the reeds by my walk to the office this morning. Spring is definitely starting to announce itself. #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Frog #EasternDwarfTreeFrog

Still five ducklings at work. Generally it's a bad idea to count the ducklings since they tend to not all make it, but so far so good with this brood. #WildOz #AustralianWildlife #AustralianWoodDuck #Duckling #Bird

Found a Kookaburra nesting in a termite nest today. It's dug a nice hollow for itself. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #LaughingKookaburra

Duckling Season has started a little early and we have the first batch of Australian Wood Duck ducklings at work. Five fuzzballs wandering around chomping grass like there was no tomorrow. #bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #Duckling #AustralianWoodDuck

The local lorikeets are becoming braver. As long as they don’t become brats like the cockatoos… #australianwildlife #birds

This morning, I decided to head out in search of wild koalas, since my neighbour had given me a hot tip for some at Lawnton. My first stop though, was at Bullocky Rest, as there were recent sightings. I wandered up and down the peninsula looking at trees, not spotting any, until I stopped to check my phone at the base of a tree, then noticed there was fresh scat on the ground, looked up, and there was one with joey. I found four more at Lawnton. #koala #AustralianWildlife #WildOz

Male and Female Red-necked Wallabies down my street this afternoon. No need to guess which is which. ;-) #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #RedNeckedWallaby #macropod #marsupial

This morning at Yelarbon, I saw several Red-rumped Parrots, including this pair that popped down to the lagoon for a drink. #Bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #RedRumpedParrot

This afternoon, in Gilgandra, I met some Eastern Rosellas and some Mallee Ringnecks (a sub species of Australian Ringnecks).. #Bird #AustralianWildlife #WildOz #EasternRosella #MalleeRingneck #parrot
