Echidna

This is a back blip. We are out of town and having a strong enough internet connection has been problematic. This fellow (and again in the extra) caught my attention as we were driving along. I didn't dare go too close and remove the pieces of dry grass that were inhibiting my photo as I didn't want him to take fright and roll up in a tight ball. He wasn't too far from the edge of the bitumen so I'm hoping he made it home safely.
