A few Emu's on the way back from the accountant
Hi all Hoping the clouds burn off for tonights lunar eclips
Was on my way back from my accountant to have the family's tax done & as usual have both camera's in the 4by At Minlaton just on the outskirts of town in a little nature reserve, i often take some shots .As i went by today a female was sitting on about a dozen eggs Couldnt miss an opertunity like that so here is a shot of her & a cpl of the males protecting her warren aka aussichef 
 Nikon D50/D80 Nikon,MB-D80 70-200 2.8 VR,Sigma 18-50 2.8, Kenko 1.4x TC, 2 kit lenses ,Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB-600 Tamron 90mm 2.8 Canon 500D closeup lens
The second one is great. Nice separation from the background and (dare I say it) bokeh.
The other three disappear too much into the background - which is not necessarily your fault.
I think you'll find thats a male emu sitting on the eggs... my most favourite things about emu's is that its the male that sits on the eggs and raises the chicks while the females galavant around returning to drop more eggs under the male... I've decided that if I can't come back as a sea horse it had better be an emu... *grin*
I really like the colours in these images...its sooooo green... the first one is my favourite...you can clearly see the eggs under him.. only niggle with it is the lack of space in front of the bird though...  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
thanks for the comments everyone
Bindi all the images are heavely cropped i will recrop the egg one to give a bit more ground infront of the emu warren aka aussichef Nikon D50/D80 Nikon,MB-D80 70-200 2.8 VR,Sigma 18-50 2.8, Kenko 1.4x TC, 2 kit lenses ,Nikon 50mm f1.8 Nikon SB-600 Tamron 90mm 2.8 Canon 500D closeup lens
Well spotted. That's certainly something you don't see everyday, unless you work on an emu farm, and even then, probably not everyday.
