Big youngsters (Dromaius novaehollandiae)

After the Goshawk, things went rather quiet and as it was getting towards lunchtime we set off back to the cabin.

En route we stopped off at a different part of the Homestead Dam. There was a family group of Emus there, and at sight of our car the youngsters were ushered back behind a bush. But it wasn't long before they relaxed and came out again.

Eventually they had drunk their fill and wandered off again.

I haven't cropped this picture... he was almost too close!!!
