The Friendly Weaner

I went for an early morning wander around station on a lovely, still morning (the afternoon wasn't) and was greeted by the sight of a weaner with its mouth against the balloon shed doors and nuzzling the bolts. One of his mates, who was a few meters away, suddenly took an interest in me and came bounding over. Here's a little video of what happened:



For some reason this little guy was completely obsessed with my boots, it's a wonderful thing having this wildlife around.

  4. That was one of the best experiences down here. The wildlife is absolutely fantastic, hopefully there'll be some more of these interactions.
