Not feeling so well! Poisoned by Ratabait during pre-winter rat attack programme. Naturally, quickly put it out of it's misery and buried the body. Despite their devastating effect on the native environment in NZ, they still are beautiful creatures.
While watching the birds at the back yard feeder, saw this guy come through the fence from neighbor's yard to partake of the seeds on the ground. not sure on this ID, looked at Brown Rat and this guy certainly has big eyes like the Black rat. any id help appreciated
