Wildlife Moment: 12 May

First echidna for the 'season' (this means the breeding season which up here in the Northern Rvers is May through to Julyish I think). And, I think only the second echidna I've seen in Rock Valley. This little guy was seen Saturday 12 May at about 3.30pm as it wandered along the road in between Glen's parents' farm and the bridge over Leycester Creek. It wasn't squashed on the road when we returned later on so that was a relief. The number of echidnas which get run over up here during the breeding season, when the boys are wandering around in hot pursuit of the ladies is very sad.
