Today the Seaward Bush group went back out to Seaward Bush with Alfredo to check out the traps and wax tags. Unfortunately, most of the wax on the wax tags had been chewed of by some very inquisitive dogs. Although we were very excited when we found a possum hanging in one of the traps we had set up last week! It was a male. We were so excited! Even though it was a bit scary, we all wanted to have a hold of it. Here is a picture of me holding the possum.
It was very interesting to see that some of the traps had no more bait in them but there was nothing caught. There was a trail of chewed up wax along the track. I reckon it was the same dog that was crazy for wax. Oh well, the highlight of the trip was definitely catching the possum!
I might be going back next week. If we do, I hope we catch another possum!
