Cheeky Echidna

Driving off the farm today I found this little guy ambling slowly along the road.

I was certain this cheeky little echidna was about to find an unfortunate end if he played out on the road any longer, so I made my way towards it and tried to encourage it back into the bush.

He didn't seem to mind me being there, and why not, with all those prickly spikes on his back.  Once I got really close, he started to carefully move away.

The cheeky echidna was soon back safe in the grass and I felt that my good deed for the day was done.
