Over the past week I’ve noticed a big increase in digging activity around the site. For a long time I’ve suspected bandicoots were visiting — the little conical holes were there — but proof has been elusive.
I did once capture a very blurry photo of something that might have been a bandicoot… although it could just as easily have been Bigfoot.
With the recent spike in activity, I decided it was time to set up the trail cam — and we finally captured this little visitor!
I’m no expert, but I’m fairly confident this is a bandicoot. Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!
I’ve also included a photo of a rat from the same location for comparison — the difference in shape and snout is pretty noticeable.
If it is a bandicoot, this is fantastic news for the site. It’s a great sign of healthy habitat… and hopefully a sign that we don’t currently have a fox around. 🤞
