An early wake up

[Gulfalan67]

Hope all are well

I was woken at 3am this morning by The Boy. He had found an echidna that had wandered into our camp.

I realised he had maybe never seen an echidna before. For those who don't know, an echidna is similar to a hedgehog in UK, just a bit larger. And it lays eggs.

Echidnas are not particularly rare but being nocturnal wanderers you rarely see them. It was my first observation here around the house.

The Boy was pretty good with the thing. Sat over it whined and poked it a couple of times with his paw.

I assured him all was well and took him back indoors with me for the remainder of the night.

Cheers

Alan

Wildlife is always nice to see, wish sometimes though they would make it sociable hours lol, my 'boy' if he keeps waking me up between 2 and 5 is going to be looking for new lodgings, I'm knackered lmao

I saw an Echidna on my 2007 trip to Australia, I was so excited about it!
