A Little Visitor...

DH went outside last night and saw the tale end of something spikey go under the house. We tried to look for it but couldn't see any trace, about 10 minutes later he looked around the other side of the house and saw it and to our surprise this is what we found...

Didn't think we would ever see echidna's in our area, I have seen them in the wild in Tassie and Victoria. It was quite a large one to, wonder if it was a mum looking for somewhere to have her babies. Anyway when I looked this morning it had gone.
