I hope this is a planned release programme and not a random animal rights freedom issue. If that is the case their days are numbered.
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

The photo looks like a Bennett's Wallaby and there's been a wild population of those in East Sussex for well over 100 years, as well as other parts of Britain. Maybe they've decided to 'go west young wallaby'.........

If they've kept their normal habits, you should see them out feeding in the evenings, as well as mornings.

There have been reports of fishermen on a lake near Coventry having their sandwiches stolen by "kangaroos" which have turned out to be wallabies which escaped from a local zoo some years ago and seem to have gone native.
