Emu, near Broken Hill
We saw plenty of Emus driving around South-western New South Wales but this one had the best real estate!
Even though there was no water in the creek it was lovely and shady under the big red gums. The river sand was gorgeous too.
Awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo - I am always intrigued how even the little birds find patches of shade to rest in.
ReplyDeleteThe emu is a neat bird, great sighting. Are they on a farm? Great shot!
ReplyDeleteThey are in the wild. There are lots of them in the semi-arid areas, I often see them near remnant Casuarina woodland.
DeleteA great find!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteThese are strange and splendid birds - I could not believe how large they where when I first saw them. We saw a few today.
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks for linking to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
sweet big ol' bird!
ReplyDeleteEmus are cool birds. There was a big boom and bust for Emu and Ostrich farmers here in the US. I still like seeing them around, especially close up as they sometimes approach people. I wrote a post a couple of years ago when a couple of Emu in a large field approached me almost too close.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Emu selection!
ReplyDeleteCool shot, especially with the tree in the foreground!
ReplyDeleteWow! I have never seen an emu in the wild. What a fabulous sight.
ReplyDeleteCan only imagine coming across one of these in the wild. Fabulous picture (and place).
