Here's a shot of our unwelcome house guest, Phily the Possum.
The trichosurus vulpecula possum is native to Australia, a marsupial.
This lady lives in our roof, but pays no rent. Every night, it sounds like a herd of elephants stampeding above our heads at dusk and dawn.
Possums are very hard to get rid of from the attic, they seem to be able to lift tiles, squeeze through amazingly small holes and just get in no matter how we try to stop them. I caught one once and took it away into the bush, in a cage in the boot of my car. I couldn't get the stink out of months !
So these days, we just put up with her ... in the knowledge that they are fiercely territorial, and while Phily is at home, other will not move in. She's eating a piece of apple here, noisily.
