Yesterday's roadkill list on the way to work included a fruitbat and a goanna. The fruitbats here are huge, ask Aaron. The goanna was once probably 4 ft. long, beautifully patterned, and harmless say the Aussies, not me.
Now, on the top ledge of the shower last night was an e.n.o.r.m.o.u.s grasshopper. This does not qualify as roadkill, but it was removed shortly after my sighting and enlisting my fearless tall husband to deal with it. Pat thinks if they get to that size they must be considered a locust. Eww.
Then today, not a roadkill sighting, but to the side of the road in the trees were massive numbers of ibis and herron/egret/tern (we don't know!) hanging around in the tops of the trees. Can you picture that? We didn't have the camera, or we'd show you. They looked like big white flowers or fruits, but they moved and fluffed wings and changed from branch to branch - lots and lots of them. The things you see on the way to the supermarket around here.
p.s. Do I have to call it roadkill if it's a koala? I call that one just sad.
