User's notes

Footprints that we suspect are deer. Sambar have been seen in the area, sadly, and a neighbour reported seeing an area trampled in a manner expected of deer. Not sure about the droppings but they looked larger and more copious than marsupial droppings.

That's fine, Jackie. I chose sambar as the prints were sometimes up to 4 x 5 cm. There were smaller ones too, so more than one animal.

Steph, this is likely to be the same individual or species of feral hoofed mammal that left its hoof prints and droppings on our block which I reported and you commented on at the beginning of this month. Next time I come I will bring both my motion sensing cameras in an attempt to get a shot of this elusive animal.

That'd be good, Andrew. Our camera has died or we'd do that now. But there was more than one animal, as there were prints of different sizes. Some prints were right over close to our garden.
