Mostly the possums wait until dusk to get up, and then move too quickly for me, but a couple of days ago he got up while it was still light, so I took a photo of him.
Yes, that's a vast array of bridges, all built for the possums, not that the birds don't use them as well...
He's not posing, majestically, so much as hiding under the leafy canopy so that the birds don't see him and yell at him because they think he might be a cat...

That's an odd looking currawong, I though to myself...
The beak's too small, and the eye's got a distinct reddish tinge...
On closer inspection... It's not a currawong at all... It's a Chough...
It's the only one... so far...
They travel in large family groups...
One chough today, how many more, tomorrow...? ha ha...
Apparently they like, amongst other things, eating snails.
With the recent rain, they should find good pickings in the garden...
Near one place that I lived there was a neighbourhood flock horde of choughs, a seething, evil looking (and sounding), hissing moving blanket of black that would from time to time venture across the road from the park where they lived and into people's gardens...
A wave of shiny, black birds, moving with purpose... Almost menacingly... ha ha...
They're a little smaller than a magpie, so you can imagine that a group of twenty or so birds, all moving in unison was a sight to behold.
