Smoky mouse? Dusky Antechinus? Native Mouse? Found dead (not long I think) on our top track (about 250m above sea level) at our wilderness property at Brogo. Tail about 80-90mm, head and body about 90mm. Mostly grey fur all over with lighter underbody and around nose/chin.
Hi Jackie - you are a wealth of knowledge as usual. Blimey! What a way to go! Poor things! Now theres a warning to all those males out there! We had a fatter/broader, slightly larger and brownish similar looking one unceremoniously digging/nesting in our pit toilet a couple of years ago (uugghhh!) - but in a different area of the block. Perhaps that was a brown or dusky antechinus? And we've seen similar ones zipping round allocasuarina tree trunks on the edge of the Brogo River before. We're going to get some trail cameras up to try capture more of the wildlife down there.
