This little fella was videoed by John Bright at the front gate of Bellthorpe Stays. Question, is it a Sugar Glider or Squirel Glider?

Note that we used red light once the photography had been done.

The native Wild Raspberries are in full flower with the earliest berries already ripening.
The fruit eating birds such as Catbirds, Regent Bowerbirds and Satin Bowerbirds love this time of the year.
Peak fruiting will be in about a month and last till early-December, but that all depends on the weather and how much rain we might get.

Any guesses on what this might be. Hint - it was night time.

The Red Cedar is bursting into new life for 2026!

This is quite a spectacular event for one of Australia's few deciduous trees. However, this event appears to be noticeably earlier than previous years.
Here's a sequence of random photos taken over the last several years at Bellthorpe of the timing when the new leaves are growing out, noting that in 2026 (last photo) they seem to be earlier by a number of weeks - what's happening?

Whether they be pretty, camouflaged, spectacular, conspicuous, concealed or flamboyant: there is a great variety of wonderful birds at Bellthorpe Stays.
