3 gliders, pair with one young. We often hear these gliders about the property. They've been around for a few weeks now and especially near the house for some reason. They have a very distinctive call which, in the early days before I knew better, I thought was an owl of some sort calling whilst flying across the front of our property near the Wonboyn Lake. They've often been on and around an old dead wattle, possibly a good place to launch from?
Good that you mentioned the call. These photos are good for ID, but their distinctive rattling call also helps confirm the ID. Sugar gliders yap like a small dog, and greater gliders are silent (and on the other possums, ringtails give a short mew like a cat and brushies clear their throats, if all that's any help with nocturnal noises).
