Eastern Grey Kangaroos

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

    One 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".

    On 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!

    The size of the shoulders is impressive! They must be great boxers.

    Hi 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.

    Those 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.
