Checking Out Lunch

For the first time in a month we have had rain today, not much mind. Thunder storm this afternoon but virtually no rain and then when the storm passed we had a few spits.

No photos today because it has been another busy day.

David was sorting through old photos looking for one in particular, when he came across this photo which he took while out with the birdwatching group quite a while ago.

I thought it would be interesting to post it today. I know it isn't one of my photos, but while David and his birdwatching pals were eating their lunch in a park at Mungo Brush just north of Hawks Nest, this wild dingo just wandered past in front of them.

I suspect that it was keeping a sly eye on the brush turkey in the background and thinking 'lunch'.

Don't know if the turkey survived.

Well captured!

I remembered seeing these turkeys when we were in Noosa .. their tails are the wrong way around
. The Dingo looks well fed so he may not bother with a turkey lunch..

[Peter]

Lovely capture with nice colour and detail Babs, I've also got some shots of these wild Turkey's up in the Daintree area:)

[Chris K]

amazing photo Babs. I am sure he knew the turkey was there

[Valerie Chesney]

Love it, the turkey would give the dog a good run though, tough old birds..

[sally agnew]

The dingo is thinking ' ho hum, just act cool then pounce when the bird leasts expects it ...... easy lunch ':)

[Mariana Visser]

great photo

[Nadiya Bilovodenko]

perfect story and amazing shot!

[Merrelyn]

I'm surprised that the turkey wasn't concerned that he was there :)

[tony gig]

Great shot.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool capture. We haven't had much rain here lately, either, and really need it.

[gloria jones]

Neat capture :)

[Margaret Brown]

A nice capture!

[John&Ann]

And there I was thinking "what a nice tranquil scene of your backyard with your pets". The I read your blog!!!

[Jennifer]

Lovely shot. Hope it did make it!

[carol white]

Nice shot

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the two of them. Amazing they walk together.

[Hazel]

I think that turkey is leading a charmed life!

[Pat Knowles]

I think the dingo is trying to look cool & uninterested in that turkey, I think they are both pretty much aware of each other! Great capture David!

[Paul]

A nice capture :)

[Taffy]

This is sort of funny to see...as if the two had gone for a walk together.

[Islandgirl]

Wow unlikely combination!

[KWind]

Great capture!

[Babs]

@julzmaioro Thanks Julia. I hope the turkey survived.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Not the prettiest of birds are they. I love dingos though

[Babs]

@cruiser I'm sure he did too Chris.

[Babs]

@hermann Ha ha, I am sure you are right Sally.

[Babs]

@merrelyn Brush turkeys aren't the brightest are they!

[Babs]

@jmdspeedy ha ha, not sure how long the brush turkey will last once the dingo is feeling hungry.

[Babs]

@jesperani Not for long I suspect.

[Babs]

@quietpurplehaze I feel its days are numbered though.

[Babs]

@happypat You are right. Dingos are very bright and sneaky, brush turkeys aren't the brightest and I suspect its days are numbered.

[Babs]

@taffy I bet only one walks home though Taffy.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow- at first I thought it was someone's pet dog!

[Margo]

Is this a dingo?

[Leslie]

They are in step with each other

[Babs]

@777margo Yes Margo it is a dingo. Lots of them at Mungo Brush.

[Sue Cooper]

Wow!! That's amazing!! Fav.

[Stephanie]

So this is a dingo...do they just wander around parks then Babs?

[Annie D]

I didn't realise there were dingos in those areas Babs - tell David a great image!
