Skippy's day out at the beach

Spotted this kangaroo out on the rock platform/mudflats at the beach at San Remo Victoria. I have never seen a kangaroo out on the water like this. There was large stretches of water between him and the shoreline, probably at least 40m out. I watched him jump along the rocks and through the shallows with ease, the ibises were mostly unperturbed, a few spoonbills took off when he barrelled through their fishing expedition
What a wonderful shot! The splash, the reflection and the novelty of it! Well captured :)
(I noticed lots of different birds and a squirrel foraging in the autumn leaves today - all unconcerned about each other then suddenly they scarpered,.,,. and I saw a grey tabby kitten on the driveway! )

will he have been lost or does he eat something on this terrain?

You don't see that every day. Perhaps he was trying to emigrate but thought better of it?
