This is a wonderful shot – love the roo’s face and ears, and how he/she seems to be floating behind the thistles.

We tend to forget that these are wild animals – your shot makes that apparent. Nice capture.

Great shot Patty, how did you train him to sit for you. Love it.
Patty Boyte replied
Actually it’s stuffed and I just stuck it behind the thistle! lol ; ) Was I lucky or what? He must have been eating behind the thistle down low. I didn’t even see him at first, I was enjoying the look of the thistle and he popped his head up. I probably startled him and he froze.

Not sure whether that’s a peek-a-boo, or he’s about to jump over those thistles and biff you one. Seriously, did you know they can actually be dangerous if cornered? Still, you’re at greater risk from a stroppy bee.
Nice candid image.
Patty Boyte replied
Richard told me I could walk up and give it a pet!! Only joking, I was being cautions and using the tele lens. ; )
Georgie Hart

I agree with Marilyn B. It does have a storybook quality to it. It is a children’s book waiting to be written with this little guy on the cover! He’s so cute! You could call him Wally or something! Love it!
Patty Boyte replied
Great idea Lynn, thanks for the generous comment. ; )
