We’ve seen a few echidnas in the wild on our trip but they’re difficult to photograph. They’re shy and usually run for the nearest cover where they curl up in a ball. This one was quite happily strolling along the beach.
It’s always a lovely walk when you’re joined by dolphins close to shore (also difficult to photograph as you don’t know where they’ll pop up next).
It sounded like we were walking on bubble wrap on Sunset Beach and then we realised what was popping – hundreds of tiny Portugese Man of War jellyfish.
The beach at Cervantes is covered in thick piles of seaweed which they say is left in place to stop erosion of the sand and to provide food for birds. It’s quite stinky though which a certain spoodle loved. All the rolling around in smells brought on the zoomies and a digging frenzy.
