It sure is! He was very cheeky lol
Is that the one that was trying to get into our bait bucket?!
Yeah this guy was definitely not shy around the campsite!
Nice find. I love watching these guys. Sometimes they get a bit intimidating though. Especially when tourists feed them too much and they get big and fearless.
