Searching for Numbats typically involves driving very slowly for hours along the maze of forest tracks, incredibly boring for anyone that isn't a nature photographer!  Numbats eat termites and consequently their movements correlate closely to termite activity.  As the day warms termites become active and come to the surface. This is when you start to see Numbats. In summer when it gets hot termites retreat deeper below ground and Numbats have a rest becoming active again mid afternoon when things cool and termites resurface.  In winter Numbats remain active from mid-morning thru to dusk when they go to bed!  I saw six Numbats. This one, a very relaxed female, carrying babies in her pouch.  Foraging a tangle of fallen logs full of termites. I was laying on my belly, at the edge of the road, very still, watching, photographing at eye level as she worked her way through the area.  Incredibly important to keep a respectful distance from these beautiful creatures, never chase or corner them and be still and quiet in their presence.  The result was a powerful experience and a set of images I am happy with because they include environment and behavior.
