Mardo!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to spot a Mardo while I had my camera!

These little critters are a native marsupial mouse, quite jumpy little things. This guy did a nice arc around our parked vechile.

We had parked and set ourselves up in the back of the 4x4 ute with camera gear, scanning the surounds for a Numbat that's known to reside in the area. We didn't get to see the numbat, but we were surprised by this guy!

The photo's aren't perfect, but they make a fun sequence. The last one is quite nice and sharp. The middle 2 he was running across the road at break neck speed. Seems he "hops" as much as he runs, as both photographs show he's off the ground!
