This Emu sighted at Mareeba Wetlands in Queensland, Australia, was definitely a bird with attitude. It walked towards me with a menacing eye as I stood poised with the camera but, true to genuine naturalist spirit, I continued to take shots until the bird felt it had intimidated me enough and hurried back into the bush where the emu chicks were hiding.

That second photo reminds me of a dragon …
A dragon – maybe. They do actually have smaller dragons in the outback, dragon lizards, and I have photographs of one of them climbing up a tree trunk. I’ll post the pictures later.
