This page is an attempt to show some of the other creatures at Tumbi Wetlands, apart from plants, and how they interact. It is not a comprehensive list of the fauna present. This remains a mystery.
This is a member of the local Kookaburra family which has built and returned repeatedly to its nest in an active termite nest.
	This little frog grows to about 25 mm long and is rarely seen, but often heard. It has been seen most frequently at Tumbi Wetlands after becoming a meal for the local Kookaburra family. The Kooaburras seem to be able to hold all but its legs in their large beaks.
The annual visit of the local pink and grey Galahs just precedes the ripening of the seeds on Acacia longifolia. This photo adds new meaning to enjoying your greens.
	This native Noisey Miner is enjoying nectar from a neighbouring garden but he wouldn't be in the area if there wasn't an abundance of food for him here in the wetlands. Like many honey eaters their "bread and butter" is insects and small invertebrates with nectar being their "dessert".
But don't think it's just honey eaters that enjoy nectar. The ants in this Banksia flower show just how enterprising insects can be. Just point to the ants with your mouse.
	This little Fiddler Beetle is likes flowers too. He is enjoying nectar and pollen from a melaleuca flower. No doubt he would be fair game for a honey eater like the Noisey Miner above, unless his bright colours send a warning..
Unless he finds his way into this web first.
