there's the baby one i just uploaded, it was higher up in the tree so i couldnt focus on it as good as I wanted too, but the baby is muddy hehehe he didnt have a bath it seems :D

On second looks it's probably female - what a sweetie.
LyndaWeber
No idea, personally I think it was female, I do have a baby pic of one now far from where she was scouting for food. but its not a very good pic do you want me to add it to this album for you to have a look?
LyndaWeber
i Will add more pics from same reel I took. It was raining so maybe she decided to bath before posing for me? :D
Mark Ridgway
Actually yours have different colouring yet again from Tas ones, Vic. ones, Papuan ones... interesting. Such a clean white breast on yours. Did you wash him first ? :)
Mark Ridgway
We've got so many of these now, even right into suburbia but you've still got to love them. Great pic LyndaWeber - go and get some more please.
