I can't fly but can I swim?

Saw this emu at Tower Hill on Monday on the way home from Port Fairy. The weather is still horrible and photo options are becoming difficult.
# An update on Hugh, my friend's husband - he has been transferred back to the Warrnambool Hospital but is undergoing treatment etc and will require another operation - but he is happy to be "home!"

Love this capture of a bird we don't see in the wild. FAV from me. Do they fit in the oven Denise.

I guess the Emu enjoys the rain for a change.

[Bep]

He does look to be in a bit of a precarious situation here.

[Kathy]

Great capture of him. I hope your friend's health and wellbeing improve soon.

First emu I've seen - only know of them through crossword puzzles - only 3 letter bird. He's neat looking but it looks like he's wearing a thatched roof for a body. Love the we look.

[Susan C Clow]

Beautiful capture Denise

[Sheralee S]

Nice find Denise, we see them occasionally here but not very often at all.

[Kat]

Wonderful quintessential Aussie capture in unusual landscape - terrific capture, mostly seen striding out across the plains!

[John]

Fascinating bird!

[Dione Giorgio]

Terrific capture of this beauty.

[Joan Robillard]

Beautiful capture. Glad he is doing well.

[john graham]

poor emu looks kind of soggy....he doesnt look too happy about all that water

[Hazel]

I guess the emu could be concerned about getting his nice warm furry coat wet!! Great to be 'home'.

[Kane Arlow]

Great capture. I have only seen a couple of emu's in the wild.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

He just about blends in with the dead wood. Well spotted!

[Anja]

Great capture, though weather and bird look dreary... ;-)
