mini-wildlife

This morning I saw this little cutie on the pole outside the bedroom window. It's a micro-bat of some type, but I'm not quite sure which variety. Picture 3 below will give you an idea of just how small it is.

Who's been eating my sunflowers?

Either my maths has really gone downhill, or something has been eating my sunflowers. I KNOW there were at least 10 seedlings there a few days ago, and now there are 5. Hmmmmm. Can't find any holes in the rabbit proof fence around the garden - and besides, if we had rabbits there would be nothing left below knee height. It's all a mystery.......

...Later...

Well, I think we found the culprit. Somehow an echidna managed to get into the garden (and into Jerry's shed as well). Cute little critter - and quite fearless. We were able to follow it around the garden for quite a long time before we managed to help it out of the garden.
I hope that means the sunflowers are safe again!
