I saw it at night running through the grass tussocks using the ice rat runs when I was approaching the wetland for an amphibian survey. Followed it to try get a better look but it was too fast to make an identification. After tracking it about 10 m through the grass tussocks I managed to dive and pin it in the grass. I photographed it and then released it unharmed. |
