User's notes

Noticed a pair of Aust. Ravens tussling with a creature on the ground. Turns out they had seperated a young ringtail possum from its mother, and were trying to carry it off by the tail. We walked over and shooed the ravens off, then watched as the baby scampered back to it's mother who was hiding nearby with another baby on her back. Stuck around for a little while longer till the ravens left, and the mother possum found a good hiding spot.
