Captured just before sunset on a cloudy day at Mallee Cliffs National Park, on Barkandji Country, NSW, this Greater Bilby is busy foraging - sniffing out seeds, insects, and underground treats.

But it’s not just dinner time… it’s ecosystem engineering in action 💪
Bilbies can turn over several tonnes of soil each year, digging thousands of foraging pits that help cycle nutrients, improve water infiltration, and create space for plants to grow.

Small digger, big impact.
