Default Some wildlife

These little zebra finches congregate where ever there is water. They are also very shy so I didn't get the best pictures of them.

Cloncurry 8-4

this lot were bedding down for the night, the noise is unbelievable but I liked the colours their feathers where picking up from the setting sun.

Cloncurry 8-2

wallabies are very shy so I was surprised by this little fellow coming over to have a good look at us. I shot this with very low light from inside the truck so I was surprised it worked out at all.

Cloncurry 8-3

this little fellow just wanted to pose, so I took his picture. Roos of any sort are very shy timid animals so I was very surprised and happy with these pictures.

Cloncurry 8-1

Hi Michele, these are so cool. I love seeing the birds and wallabies and kangaroos. So cool to see the animals from another country still in there country, living happy and free, and not a zoo. Thanks for sharing these.
