Some wildlife taken from my back door


Two kangaroos who come to visit late afternoon and early morning - maybe they are the mother and joey from last year - they are very watchful but reasonably tame as long as I don't move much or too quickly...


These are called Spoon bill something or others and flocks of these are found in the small creek which is just behind my house - I couldn't get any closer - they took off and i felt a bit bad as they were fossicking for food at the time - If you click on the photos they are clearer. This is not a pretty creek as its sort of mangroves and part salt and fresh...but so much life in there - plenty of snakes snails and puppy dogs tails -

Andrew - Thanks

Mom - they are for me as well

Cazzie - sometimes its just lovely here - when the snakes stay away that is

Sling - It looks pretty good to me when I see the photos of other places too. Its nice here - but I have learned not to walk about looking anywhere but down - along with the birds and kangaroos are the snake families - and they sort of keep me alert - still nice tho - the land was so cheap because its all on a flood plane - we couldn't have been able to live here otherwise - a few miles away on the high ground live the doctors and dentists etc...I feel lucky!!!

Citymouse - never visit in summer thats all - winters are to die for...summers hot as hell
Mal you're right there
