User's notes
Whilst taking macro images of Gluegun Termites at the ANBG a nearby foraging Echidna decided to snack on my photographic subject. A win-win situation. The final image shows the Echidna extracting termites from dead wood within the leaf litter. Close ups of the termites are provided in a following sighting 4233515. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of the Echidna.
