A fun shot of an Eastern pygmy-possum (Cercartetus nanus) on the camera-trap when I checked it today.

Probably the best photo of an EPP that I’ve ever landed.

I was going to describe the shot as “lucky”, but after eighteen months of toughing it out through repeated failures with the camera-trap in roughly the same area, “lucky” doesn’t feel like the right word.
