Wombat At Dusk In Search Of Food
Finally I was in the right place at the right time. Wombats leave evidence of their presence, new wombat poos are around every morning, but we rarely see them. On this evening at dusk I just happened to be out with my camera in the local area and spotted a wombat who walked right past me. They are the cutest and funniest of wildlife that we have visiting our bushblock.
Wombats are herbivores and on our bushblock mostly graze on grasses. They really like the indigenous Weeping Grass – Microlaeana Stipoides and the wallaby grass species on our block a favorite is Velvet Wallaby-grass – Austrodanthonia pilosa. By having these herbivores around they are our sustainable lawn mowers - which we love!

Great capture! I’ve only ever seen one at our place … and that was many years ago! Longing to see one again.
Rates extremely high on the cute-o-meter.
