Garden muncher

When we came back from Europe, we found that a lot of
our garden shrubs had been nibbled and munched.  There
was a dead sheep on the road near the front gate so
first I assumed that maybe it had got into our place,
munched the garden and been punished by a passing car.
Tony thought it might have happened when Jack the
donkey got out of his paddock for a while, but there
wasn't the usual deep hoof prints caused by a big fat
donkey with tiny hoofs.  I wondered if might have been
the hare that lives in our paddocks, but some of the
nibbling was too high for a hare.

Then, over the last month or so, a swamp wallaby has
moved into the bush near the house.  It is very shy
and just the right size and right nibbling habits to
be the culprit - needing our prolonged absence to come
right into the garden.

Dear Ian!

I would like to present your text and pictures because of the story by
itself, on my new Hugen site. Then also because for some reason your
guest, by your three-in-one image, (reminding me of Dian's bats)  gives
me the idea, - an important idea, I feel - that some thoughts may also
be shy and need their time to enter one's consciousness. A perspective
that should not be forgotten on Hugen!
