Kangaroos out west.<br />Nice to have a local (former local) comment.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-86719302615935479882010-03-10T22:00:47.547+11:002010-03-10T22:00:47.547+11:00Such graceful creatures, which is a bit surprising...Such graceful creatures, which is a bit surprising considering the size of some species of Raptors.<br />I remember when I was a kid and I would sit for hours watching the Black Shouldered Kites hunt in the paddocks across the road from the house.<br />Oh how I miss the days of living in the fresh air and nature.Dicky Simpsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-82640683166078602822010-03-10T20:38:25.234+11:002010-03-10T20:38:25.234+11:00Hi Mick and Tony.
