20100908 176 Porcupine.jpg

Old Quarry Trail

Whilst I was tracking a couple of Deer, this Porcupine came waddling towards me on the trail. It didn't spot me until it was about three meters from me. It then made a quick 90 degree turn and wandered off into the bush giving me a few quick glances before it disappeared..

A superb shot of this beauty. I have found that that area is pretty good for porcupines, having seen more there than just about anywhere. Anyway, excellent capture.
