Jibbiiii... I saw my first Antechinus today, it was Antechinus agilis not Antechinus minimus, but an Antechinus it was :o) Extreeemely cute little animal... Antechinuses are tiny carnivorous marsupials (like kangaroos and koalas) and my project will be on A. minimus. My trapping site is called Urquharts Bluff and in summer (winter here) I will be marking little pouch youngs while they are still in the mothers pouch and then see where they go when they leave theire mothers. But first I will have to do a LOT of reading...
