Must See: I found a baby wombat
Is this the cutest animal you have ever seen, Reader?
It's certainly the cutest that I have ever photographed.
It's a baby common wombat, photographed a few days ago on a small island off the East Coast of Tasmania.

Sony 300mm f/2.8 = 1.4x Teleconverter Hello Reader, I have owned the Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM lens for around 12 months.
