Hi Mary, When I download the image and zoom in, I can see at least three things that might be a glider or might be leaves. In short I cant see it. The AI (Carbon) says it can see one. I'm unsure how to interpret that. However I think you know the species from other sightings so I will verify this record, based on your verbal description. The only local species of mid-size grey glider is Petaurus notatus, Krefft's Glider (which we formerly called Sugar Glider).

Hi Maren, Any apple tree is likely to have both BT Possums and Black/Roof/Ship Rats in it and could also have visits from Grey Headed Flying Foxes. I cant guess the scale here (which matters a lot in this case) but they look like rat droppings. So I have not confirmed your sighting, yet. The key question is how big are those scats?
