An echidna in the duck house!

nose bubbles - an echidna with a cold?

scratching for ants

This old fellow is one of many on our place and took absolutely no notice of my son and I as we even stood next to it, nor did it take any notice of our dogs trying to bite it when it came wombling up to the back yard fence. I have never had one so casual in our presence. This was today at 4.45pm.

That's some backyard you have MITH!

An Echidna is one of the non-African animals that I'd love to see in the wild! $\O$

Here's the take from my garden on Saturday - Sunday was spent at Rietvlei.

Robber Fly.

Two different species of Hoverfly (they are in the Info Book is you want to know the species).

Another freaky-eyed fly that I haven't identified yet.

A tiny-shiny beetle.

And a Hoverfly on the wing.
