Numbats are great creatures, very entertaining to watch with lots of character. They are very hard to find and photograph though, you have to be out at just the right time on the right day and then you can see several, the rest of the time it's hard to find a single one!
Once you find one, you also have to be very patient. They are extremely jittery and cautious, the slightest noise (camera shutter) will normally send them running (tail held high in the air - very funny!). You really need to see where one runs to, sit waiting for about 30mins for it to think it's safe and come out of hiding, then snap what photographs you can, without moving at all to scare it.
Fun and frustrating stuff
