The mother is just over two feet tall and her baby is white.

Useful distinguishing features - just in case one hadn't already clocked the fact that they are wallabies.

That said, DD is quite short.

In Clough? Oh god save us! I can just see the poor wee wallaby running about with a sash and a lambeg!

But are they Protestant or Catholic wallabies? The locals need to know.

Wallaby in Clough? Definitely a MI5 spy. Hang'em like that monkey in Hartlepool.

There's further - and valuable - detail available via the [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-26522922 ]Beeb.[/url]

They can also be identified via their teeth, which are different as kangaroos mainly eat grass while wallabies mostly eat leaves.

Which should certainly make identification easier - whilst preventing any confusion with Irish kangaroos.

Mind yer due process lad. It's all what separates us from savages. Kangaroo court first.

I was in the Peak last year, cannot remember exactly where, and I am sure I saw a sign about wallabies. Bit of googling gives this:

Wallabies used to be quite common around the Roaches not far from Leek. Not seen one for years though.
