Liam, this is a new location in CNM for this species, far from other locations. The very blurry photo is like a Mountain Brushtail, but could be a Common Brushtail whose ears appear shorter than they really were. So I'd prefer more evidence before confirming it in this location, sorry.

Hi Don,

Sorry, I don’t have any better photos of this one, I’ll keep n eye out for them next time we head out there.

Hi Liam, as well as photos, 'evidence' can be other things too, like just a statement that you looked closely at the relevant parts of the animal or plant through certain binoculars or other viewing aids (eg handlens) for a reasonable amount of time and saw whatever the diagnostic features are for that species.

Hi Don,
It was a reasonable distance away (hence the photo quality), and moving around a fair bit not allowing excellent views. Probably best to leave it as unidentified.
