A young and rather blonde echidna snuffling in the bush.

Three Tawny Frogmouths sitting in a tree …

Interesting fungus on the trunk of a eucalypt (possibly E. obliqua?) in Knocklofty Reserve.
About 5 cm diameter.

A pair of snakes canoodling just off the walking track in Knocklofty Nature Reserve.
I’m guessing they are lowland copperheads (Austrelaps superbus).
