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).

Agree with Nancy this is a greater glider

I am certain that the ID by CarbonAI is not correct. The glider was much too big to be Petaurus notatus. Other greater gliders have been seen in the immediate area over the years but too high in the eucalypts for me to photograph.
