User's notes

Very skittish even from the distance I was, darting under cover if I moved an inch from a good 10 metres away.

I spoke to Tidbinbilla ParkCare volunteer John last week about antechinuses and the way he described the difference between Agile and Dusky antechinuses makes me wonder if this sighting from last year up in Gibraltar Peak might in fact be a Dusky, can you please review @DonFletcher

Hi @Nathaniel, As Liam has confirmed, not Dusky. Duskys have often been photographed on the wet side of the valley. They are darker, larger and not quite so inclined to dart around.
