My husband saw this little guy one night when he was sitting on the deck reading. I have been putting seed on this rock for the birds and it would always disappear overnight. While we were away my daughter took a photo of all the holes he had dug in our backyard. Our neighbour thought it wouldn't have been a bandicoot but an echidna. Well, just a couple of nights ago we saw him again, this time he stayed to eat all the seed and didn't care how many photos I took of him. It is getting very dry so feed is getting scarce for all the wildlife. I guess it doesn't help that the council has burnt off much of the area to prevent fires getting out of control.
I think his nose is covered in seed.
My focus isn't very good because I was trying to manually focus in the dark, it was almost 9pm and very dark. We are quite privileged to see this little Australian native Northern Brown Bandicoot as a lot of people wouldn't even know what one looks like. To have him calmly sit there while I took several photos with flash is even more surprising.
The birds were here in the hundreds trying to snavel some barbecued lunch.
