I like them all, the incoming gull, an emu with a bad perm, a happy family and a stunning picture of a beautiful waterfall, guess which is my favourite, nicely done Pauline

Many thanks Jill. After having a couple of goes and plucking the camera out of my hands, she finally stood still long enough for me to capture that one.

Thanks Steve. I didn't need more than one guess on that one. I think it about time Miss Emu changed her hair dresser, what do you reckon? LOL
