Dopey animal!

Playing with ISO and a change from my recent snow images! One of several kangaroos seen on the street. At this stage I had to shout "SHOOO" to get it off the road, as the car (headlights from the right) approached.

They are so silly. We live in the Adelaide hillls...rounded a corner one night to a giant whopper sitting smack in front of me, hooted, flashed lights, shouted...not a movement.started to creep around it and it kept moving with me..spent 5 mins on a dangerous bend waiting for it, or me, oir both, to be wiped ou!

The wallabies seem to be more sensible. Great timing, George.

Let me guess. There has been sudden global warming in Norway? No? LOL
Our dopey animals are mainly pheasants, as Jean said. I'm surprised that anyone pays to go on a shoot to bag a brace of them. I suppose it saves on the front bodywork of a car.

Well, it stopped in a perfect place for you to get a good picture George! I love the curve in the road and the light! There are so many pheasants and partridges where my daughter lives, it really is surprising that I have managed to miss them so far.

Oh dear...these guys give me a heart attack. With us it's turkeys in the road. Deer too. Please for the love of PETE would you get out of the road?! I've had to scare off tom turkeys because they thought the middle of the road was a great place for a stand-off and comparison of tail feathers. *shakes head*

Too many bad endings here, though in your case, it's warming to think about the rescue operations who raise the joeys from orphan situations. Doesn't make it any nicer that it happened in the first place though :(

Such a fantastic scene. I'm glad you were there to help, George.

I love the lighting here.
