You may remember a couple of weeks ago I posted a pic of an echidna that was running around my yard, today I discovered the reason why she was so large.

Meet echidna junior, (nicknamed eddy).Eddy comes out around four pm daily, and wanders around the yard looking for food. Totally oblivious to any danger (indeed I was 2ft away when I took this pic) and concentrating totally on foraging he is a delight to watch.
Mind you, I think that he has good armouring, can you imagine trying to bite something like that? He/she is really cute though don't ya think?

Note: stupid spellcheck doesn't know what an echidna is!
