When I went to pick up the camera this morning, something or someone had unlatched & opened the control panel cover. Take note of the last frame at night, is this whiskers you can see?
Keith.
 
yep they are whiskers ,what it is ???????????? beaver ???
No beavers here, only beaver rats & they stay where there is water. I suspect this is a Mountain Brushtail Possum or a Ringtail Possum. Had me going for a while though trying to figure out what I was seeing :)

The Beaver Rat. These too were trapped in Australia for their fur during the fur trade, possum furs too.

I have no idea, possibly whiskers but could be anything. Any damage? Chewing or scratches?
No marks at all which is odd given that the cover catch is tight to operate, & if it was a possum, they have very sharp claws.
