Hi @JanetRussell, are you able to correct the location? Or do you want me to do that? These are the coordinates of a grassy yard that I picked in Flavel Ave Woodforde: -34.901465, 138.690361 ie slightly further north and 10.5 degrees further west than Reid.

Macropus giganteus

The coordinates are wrong. The kangaroo does not visit Reid. It was sighted at Flavel St at Woodforde in South Australia.

Hi @DonFletcher - thanks for your helpful response. I guess its possible they are juvenile Rattus rattus, but they don't look or behave like baby rats (my husband concurs) - but if they continue to hang around I will try to get more picks/video to see if I can get the underside of the rear feet and also see if they get bigger. When we were still feeding parrots (I know, not good, we don't do it now), the same rodents would come down from our trees and eat in the early evening - they looked the same as these ones vs the real rats we sometimes get in the shed.
