Garden Railway Forum

So it appears in my local park and on the old haverhill railway line people have been spoting
wallabies .for some very odd reason someone has realised a load in to the wild in suffolk

This is a picture of one of them

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.

It's very strange thing to do .I saw this picture on Facebook I go up the park where thay have been spotted a lot in the summer with my mates magnet fishing. We have never seen one I told my wife and she already knew about it one of her friends sees them most mornings when she is running

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.
