We’ve only been visited by an echidna once before, he walked quickly through our front area and then back again and was gone. Today however, what a treat! A big one came in and got into the ‘pond’, our upturned large round plastic rubbish-bin lid which the bigger birds like the magpies bathe in. He climbed into the pond drinking, and then scratched himself on both sides - washing himself?, soaked for a while, climbed out, and started foraging for food digging up the ground and dry grass right in front of the main windows. Then he toddled off.
As much as Marion and I hold our breath that nothing horrible will happen to the wildlife when it comes into our place, there being so many people who don’t care about it, running it over and letting their dogs roam free, we feel we’ve been blessed, given such a lovely gift by God.
