I went for a walk in one of our local parks this weekend and found the mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos that live there. They were grazing near a path, which as far as I recall is a little unusual as they normally seem to be a little people-shy.
Anyway, it was nice to see some of these remarkable animals just 15 minutes from home!

As far as I can tell, these are a young animal, a male and a female.
You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday. Cheers SM
So amazing!

ReplyDeleteOne of the great effects of lockdown is that nature had been 'reclaiming' a wee bit! YAM xx
Great photos Stewart. Wow, do they have strong looking "arms".
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I've spotted a bird with no tail in my yard. If I ever get a clear photo of it, I'm going to ask you to take a look at it. I think it's a Crow or Grackle. I'm wondering if it was born that way, or if somehow its tail got ripped off. It seems to fly okay without it, but it's an odd sight to see.
I think it is quite safe to say, Stewart, I will not be seeing kangaroos fifteen minutes from home! Chipmunks and cottontails in the backyard, but no kangaroos!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteThe size of the shoulders is impressive! They must be great boxers.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots! Kangaroos are fascinating animals.
ReplyDeleteHi Stewart. I made a blog post with a photo of that bird without a tail that I saw in my yard. It's not a good photo, but from looking at the series I took, I determined it's a Grackle. I also looked around on the Internet, and some people seem to suggest the no tail is due to molting. Do you know anything about that? When you get a chance, can you please take a look at my blog post? Thanks.

They really are odd creatures but fascinating to watch. Keep healthy, Diane
ReplyDeleteReally lovely photos! Thank you and have a grand week!
ReplyDeleteLove all these Roos!!!
ReplyDeleteThose kangaroos look very big, but they are beautiful. I always look for kangaroos when we go out walking but they often are hard to spot in the bush.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey look so powerful! Fascinating.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! How exciting to see a kangaroo!
