Echidna at Aldinga Scrub, South Australia

I’ve seen a few short-beaked echidnas in the scrub over the years but never seen one so actively digging and feeding. I got to spend about half an hour with this little echidna in Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park watching them pull apart the dead wood and digging in the sandy undergrowth searching for ants. At one point they even climbed a small dead tree in their search and you can see and hear them feeding. It was nice to feel trusted enough that the echidna allowed me to stay with them for ages.
