Echidna in the Garden

Posted by on
13th September 2015

Our little dog alerted us to an Echidna not far from the front door on Sunday Night.  While we see evidence of them, I haven't seen one here for a little while.  The Echidna was at a guess a sub-adult and it happily dug away for ants while we watched it and took some photos.  The following day I began digging up one of the gardens along the edge and didn't get it finished, but the Echidna was grateful for the work I had done, as it was back again in the garden following along where I had dug hours earlier, looking for ants.

    Brings back fond memories for me of an Echidna I saw when I visited Australia in 1999.

      Lisa, many Australian's even refer to them as Porcupine's also, although they are quite different - just as cute though.

      Thanks Marie for your lovely comment, I am so glad that you enjoyed this blog post - we were rather fortunate that this little guy didn't mind us getting up close to take a photo and the video footage. Thank you for visiting our blog. I hope you get to see one someday yourself.
