this Female red necked wallaby was seen up the hill behind the house and light rain made it relatively quiet to approach.
most of the wallabies on here seem relatively laid back and quite a lot of the kangaroos too, but no where near what the wallabies are.
actually had a bit of a run in with a young female eastern grey kangaroo the other day.
She was seen to be stuck in some wire and so we ran home and got a blanket and wire cutters.
so the blanket went over the head and body and I had her pinned down and was holding back legs too whilst
Shirley's son cut the wire. so after cutting free and inspection of legs revealed no obvious injuries, I got off her and pulled the blanket off.
in retrospect I guess I should have moved well away and was still kneeling when she stood up and must have assumed that I was the cause
of all the grief and. was eye to eye with me and trying to get me so she got pushed away and came back for a 2nd try so had little choice but to punch her in the head.
at that stage she must have realised that she was free and ran off. just lucky it wasnt that ginormous buck I posted the pic of the other day.
you would have thought she would have showed some gratitude, but nooooooooo.
anyway back to the wallaby,
she was grooming and I got lots of decent pix of her,
then decided to push a tad closer and got this pic.
reminded me or playing hide and seek.
