FINALLY my elusive echidna finally appeared after five years. i was outside turning off the hoses in the dark and huge a scuttling and very noisy crackling of leaves. not a kangaroo, to big for a bird on the ground, could it be the goanna? at night?
then i saw a dark little shadow and there he was, waddling through the garden. i raced for the camera and my phone torch and followed from a distance then stood and waited. he came across the lawn right past my feet and off down the riverbank. i couldn't see where he ended up but i'm sure he has a burrow down there. no good pics though - couldn't even get the snout in but it's great to see him.
