I have seen them crunched on a branch, heard them thump into a tree trunk at the end of a flight, but never witnessed an actual glide. I have the same experience for yellow-bellied gliders, even better at long flights as mentioned. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jul/16/greater-gliders-gliding-study?CMP=GTAU_email16 Jul 2026 02:37 +0000at://did:plc:3gfep32fuddj6f66pscpjxse/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqq7djlag22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/lynne-kelly-42.bsky.social/post/3mpmz256yh22uSpotted Pardalote This adorable little man is hanging around his regular nest site on the verandah near my office.
