dytkos 17,935 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 its because they are so elusive...they make an otter look positively extrovert!! Photographing them at night isn't easy either...but i have done so on a number of occasions...... The time he will have to invest might not be worth while for just getting a photo. IMO to get a good snap you've got to do alot of travelling and become a bit obsessed with getting 'that' photo...... First he's got to find them......which ain't too easy let me tell you... then..... he's got to try and get near enough to take a snap.....and bare in mind these little hoppers sit in the tightest, thickest cover that they can find. ...it's just one big difficult scenario........but...if he likes a challenge.... Thanks for that I may try and steer him down the trail cam route but it doesnt seem like photos of any particular quality are likely to be possible Just nick 'em off the internet or Photoshop Cheers, D.

bunnys 1,236 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Documented colonies of red-necked wallabies exist in the United Kingdom. In Staffordshire, a breeding colony has established itself after breaking loose from a private zoo in Leek, Staffordshire in the 1930s.[5] Their population peaked in the 1970s, reaching numbers between 60 and 70. There were no confirmed sightings of the wallabies between 2000 and 2008, with some locals believing they must have died out. However, newspapers reported wallaby sightings in July 2009 (including clear pictures) and made reference to sightings in 2008. Other Wallaby colonies exist in the UK, including reliable reports from the Fenland on the Norfolk/Lincolnshire border; and there are a few in Ashdown Forest, Sussex. In Scotland, Inchconnachan, an island in Loch Lomond has a population of wallabies as well. Lady Arran Colquhoun introduced them in the 1920s.[6] http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&tbo=d&q=wallaby+colony+uk&revid=2128032642&sa=X&ei=eW8OUcfZDKu00QXi8YHADg&sqi=2&ved=0CHEQ1QIoAw&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=5ffe1ab5c2868a29&biw=1263&bih=873 theyre still there atb bunnys.

I will have a look into where they are in their highest densities and then maybe go from there. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 28,582 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I hunt with a lad who's from the isle of Mann, I think you'll find decent numbers out there by all accounts.... He would see them at night mainly though.. Cheers Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
