you enter the bathroom, expecting nothing unusual, but unknowingly, your bumhole is met with a pair of soulless eyes staring back at it.

as you start to sit down, you hear something slosh in the water beneath you.

you jump up, startled.

as you peer into the toilet bowl, you see him, the prince of wadda mooli himself.

you pay your respects and escort him outdoors–back to his kingdom

you then reclaim your porcelain throne

Bioacoustic survey conducted with a Song Meter Micro full-spectrum acoustic recorder deployed within remnant Sedgy Riparian Woodland (EVC 198) of a 2 acre Trust for Nature covenanted property. The property adjoins the Wombat State Forest. Recordings are scheduled twice a day. First, for 3 hours commencing two hours before sunrise, and secondly, for 3 hours commencing at sunset.

This young female had this flatworm go from her shoulder up over her gills, she tried to dislodge it, then across her eyes so she was blindfolded, then moved down her snout where she was gagged! She also tried to dislodge it there. then it went onto her belly , very interesting to watch. All on video, will try and load to australasian fishes page soon.

I entered the forest, expecting to find something new, maybe a plant or insect; this was not what I had in mind! I surveyed the ground looking for something interesting to photo. I found a few flowers, a bee, and a young pine.

I was hunched over a lily getting a picture for iNaturalist when I decided a look up, and when I did, I was shocked! Just down the hill on the trail stood a Red Fox, looking right back at me!

It caught me off guard and I quickly stood up. "I had to get a photo" I thought. I whipped out my camera, nearly dropping it, and frantically got a few shots. Only three where all that good.

I wasn't the only one to see the fox. Beside me was an Eastern Gray Squirrel, which didn't seem to like the fox at all. The squirrel screeched and whipped its tail. It refused to get out of the trees while the fox was around.

Moving back to the fox, I noticed that beside it lied the corpse of an Eastern Cottontail, possibly the fox's prey. It was almost the same size as the fox. Minutes pass and the Red Fox decided to get up. It trotted a few feet before diving into its den. I thought that would be the end of it, but moments later it reemerged with a buddy. Together, they wondered off deeper into the woods.

What an amazing sight!
