@Mike I think Claire and the others in the Gonacon research team treated and tagged forty more after the local anti-cull guru (who lives nearby) said publicly that no roos were left at Farrer Ridge. This kind of disagreement about numbers of wildlife amazes me continually.

The photo shows a kangaroo tagged as part of the contraceptive trial. There were at least five roos in the group. My next sighting was 50.

Hi @Jennymec , for decades, the only small mammals in the Canberra suburbs have been the Black (Roof) Rat (Rattus rattus) and the House Mouse (Mus musculus). There have also been a few claims for the Norway (Sewer) Rat (Rattus norvegicus). Of course our nearby waterways have the native Rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster) but I dont know of one coming in among houses. However your first and second images do not look exactly like a Black (Roof) Rat (Rattus rattus). I dont know what they do look like. The short tail and dumpy appearance reminded me of Swamp Rat (Rattus lutreolus/lutreola) which we do not have in the ACT. I think this must be R. rattus but I have left it as uncertain. If you can get better images ....

Rattus sp.

This cant be correct. Date or Canberra location must be wrong. Because I saw in the comments by several people yesterday, on the cull announcement, that no EGKs are left in Canberra. They know better than government and better than ecologists because they actually go out in the reserves, they say. :-)
