Roo portrait

Roo portrait
I was busily taking photos of the masses of birdlife which descended on our camp, but I was oblivious for some time to this large Eastern Grey kangaroo who had sidled up to within a metre of me and seemed fascinated by this photography business. So I stepped back and took his portrait: he was nearly as tall as me!

Thank you for all your comments. I'd say he was about 1.5M tall and it was indeed something of a surprise to find him so close.

Thanks for all your comments. It was a bit disconcerting to realise I had a large male roo beside me (they can indeed lash out), but he seemed happy to just watch and sit as a portrait model.

Hmmm- looks like he was eyeing you up there, great shot, and definitely out of the ordinary

Thanks Richard, he certainly did appear very tame.
