Cambridgeshire family find wallaby in garden

A family has found an unusual guest living in their garden - a wild wallaby!

The creature, which is normally found in Australia and parts of South East Asia, had made its home at the bottom of the Heathcote family's garden in Cambridgeshire.
Jane Heathcote said her family first spotted the animal the day after they moved in.
But nobody believed them until they took photos.
Reports of escaped wallabies living wild in the UK are not new.
There have also been sightings in Devon, Cornwall, East Sussex and Scotland.

Wilf the wallaby

When the family got in touch with the RSPCA, they told them it probably had a burrow nearby.
"They said he seemed happy and healthy and we should just keep an eye on him," Ms Heathcote said.
The family have named their new neighbour Wilf and say he likes to eat the food they throw out for birds and even plays with the local cats!

  1. Can I simply just say what a comfort to uncover somebody that really understands what they are discussing on the web.
    You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light
    and make it important. More people should look at this and
    understand this side of the story. It's surprising you aren't more popular given that
    you surely possess the gift.

  2. Good day! I know this is kinda off topic however , I'd figured
    I'd ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a
    blog article or vice-versa? My blog discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I
    think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel
    free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Wonderful blog by the way!

  4. Fantastic blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little
    lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are
    so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed ..

    Any recommendations? Bless you!

  5. Aw, this was a very good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to produce
    a superb article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot
    and never manage to get anything done.
