Kangaroo's
8

Eastern Grey kangaroo's with E-m1 + 40-150 pro + mc-14
A mother and an immature (joey)
I was walking into a birding spot and all the sudden around the corner stood the mother about 5 metres from me ready to go a round in the ring with me  Well the story didn't get that exciting as she just started eating but keeping an eye out for me and getting up and giving me the the look if I got too close to the young one. I just relaxed and made myself not look like a threat and got a few shots off before continuing on into the bush. The young one I captured on my way back as it was deep in long grass when I first came across them but presented itself better on the way back.

Enjoy!!!

Nice shots. Really like nr 4.

Enjoyed the kangaroos and wallabies during my roadtrip through Australia, these shots bring back nice memories.

I still can't decide which is my favourite, it seems to be a different one every day
