I take every opportunity that comes along to go spot-lighting and you more often see possums than owls!.  The Mountain Brushtail possum or Bobuck has been for me a bit of an enigma - not sure about this animal, until a couple of days ago when I managed to film one with a youngster down the coast. see. https://vimeo.com/107108936

I have also some lovely new footage of the familiar Common Brushtail to compare, some of which was taken on same night  see.https://vimeo.com/107108231

Most of this footage was filmed using infra red illumination  - i.e. in complete darkness to the eyes of both possum and human!.

Enjoy
